Traces on reduced group C*-algebras

Operator Algebras 2017-10-11 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

In this short note we prove that the reduced group C*-algebra of a locally compact group admits a non-zero trace if and only if the amenable radical of the group is open. This completely answers a question raised by Forrest, Spronk and Wiersma.
