The structure of certain group C*-algebras
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
Let G be a separable locally compact group which admits a non-trivial compact normal subgroup. It is shown that the group C*-algebra C*(G) of G may be decomposed as a direct sum of ideals whose structure is determined up to *-isomorphism. Applications are given to Type 1, [FD]− groups; in particular it is shown that the group C*-algebra of such a group is a direct sum of homogeneous C*-algebras.
