C*‐norms for tensor products of discrete group C*‐algebras

Abstract: Let Γ be a discrete group. We show that if Γ is nonamenable, then the algebraic tensor products C * r (Γ) ⊗ C * r (Γ) and C * (Γ) ⊗ C * r (Γ) do not admit unique C * -norms. Moreover, when Γ1 and Γ2 are discrete groups containing copies of noncommutative free groups, then C * r (Γ1) ⊗ C * r (Γ2) and C * (Γ1) ⊗ C * r (Γ2) admit 2 ℵ 0 C * -norms. Analogues of these results continue to hold when these familiar group C * -algebras are replaced by appropriate intermediate group C * -algebras.

“…Identify copies of F 2 in Γ 1 ×Γ 2 and let ∆ denote the diagonal subgroup of F 2 ×F 2 ⊂ Γ 1 ×Γ 2 . In the proof of [29,Theorem 3.2] a Fourier-Stieltjes space B σ satisfying the above conditions is constructed with the property that B σ | ∆ contains the constant function 1. Then B ℓ p (Γ 1 ×Γ 2 ) does not contain B σ since otherwise B ℓ p (∆) would contain the constant 1 and, hence, B ℓ p (∆) would be all of B(∆).…”

“…This is the C*-algebra of operators on the Hilbert space 2 (F 2 )-with canonical basis ( h ) h∈F 2generated by the unitary operators u g ( h ) = gh for g ∈ F 2 . In fact the tensor product C * r (F 2 ) C * r (F 2 ) has the largest possible number of cross C*-norms: continuum many [88]. Another important example of C*-algebra that is not nuclear is B (H ) when H is the separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space [87].…”

“…For example, the binormal C * -tensor product M ⊗ bin N of von Neumann algebras M and N is studied by Effros and Lance in [2]. More recently, Ozawa and Pisier constructed a continuum of C * -norms on B(H) ⊙ B(H) (see [4]), where H is the infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, and the author constructed a continuum of C * -norms on algebraic tensor products of certain group C * -algebras (see [6]).…”
