Structural properties of reduced C*-algebras

Abstract:

Recently, members of our group proved impressive results on the reduced C*-algebras of free groups—and, more generally, hyperbolic groups. Following the same general strategy, but using quite different methods, I obtain analogous results for higher-rank lattices (e.g., cocompact discrete subgroups of SL3(ℝ)). In the talk I’ll survey the structural properties of interest and outline the main ideas of the proofs.
