abstract

We prove that the reduced group C*-algebras of infinite countable discrete groups having topologically-free extreme boundaries, or more generally groups that satisfy certain combinatorial property including all acylindrically hyperbolic groups with no nontrivial finite normal subgroups and all Zariski-dense subgroups of PSL(n,R), are selfless in the sense of L. Robert. This generalizes the recent results of Amrutam, Gao, Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, and Patchell, and of Vigdorovich. We also prove that selflessness is stable under tensor product among exact C*-algebras and that a C*-probability space is selfless provided that it is either simple and purely infinite or simple, exact, Z-stable, and uniquely tracial.

The Selfless Dichotomy

math.OA · 2026-06-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Nonfaithful selfless C*-probability spaces are purely infinite and simple, so every selfless C*-algebra is either purely infinite or stably finite and hence pure.

Uniform amenability at infinity

math.GR · 2026-04-24 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Uniform amenability at infinity holds for free groups and limit groups, implying uniform strong convergence in the operator algebraic sense for convergent sequences of such groups in the marked group space.

Selfless reduced amalgamated free products and HNN extensions

math.OA · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A general family of selfless inclusions is established for reduced amalgamated free products of C*-algebras, with applications to new HNN extensions and selflessness for graph products over suitable graphs.

A finitary criterion for selfless tracial C*-algebras

math.OA · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Selflessness of separable tracial C*-algebras is equivalent to approximate selflessness via a finitary condition proved by diagonalization in the tracial ultrapower.

Toeplitz exactness for strong convergence

math.OA · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A new Toeplitz exactness theorem provides a general machine to upgrade strong convergence in C*-correspondences.

Strict comparison for twisted group C*-algebras

math.OA · 2025-05-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Reduced twisted group C*-algebras of selfless groups with rapid decay are selfless, implying that those of acylindrically hyperbolic groups with rapid decay are pure and have strict comparison.
