C*-Algebras of Discrete Groups

Our proposed research project is concerned with those C*-algebras that are generated by discrete groups. In particular, we will study the various properties, such as amenability, of these groups and their corresponding C*-algebras, and summarize the current theory regarding them. We would then like to investigate these properties within the context of the group C*-algebra of the Richard Thompson group; a rather unusual example of a discrete group, proposed in 1965 as the first potential counterexample to the now-disproven von Neumann conjecture on non-amenable groups.
