The reduced C*-algebra of a countable linear group G is shown to be simple if and only if G has no nontrivial normal amenable subgroups. Moreover, these conditions are shown to be equivalent to the uniqueness of tracial state on the aforementioned C*-algebra.

  1. Primality and the ideal intersection property for reduced crossed products

    math.OA 2025-04 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Reduced crossed products over discrete groups are prime, and the ideal intersection property holds for FC-hypercentral groups, exactly when certain conjugacy classes of elements acting 'inner' on invariant subalgebras...

  2. The geometry of triples of antipodal ideal chambers of affine buildings

    math.GR 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    This paper proves that, among irreducible affine Weyl groups of rank at least two, every antipodal triple of ideal chambers is generic exactly for the types C2, G2, and B3.
