A type I conjecture and boundary representations of hyperbolic groups
@inproceedings{Caprace2021ATI, title={A type I conjecture and boundary representations of hyperbolic groups}, author={Pierre‐Emmanuel Caprace and Mehrdad Kalantar and Nicolas Monod}, year={2021} }
. We establish new results on the weak containment of quasi-regular and Koopman representations of a second countable locally compact group G associated with non-singular G -spaces. We deduce that any two boundary representations of a hyperbolic locally compact group are weakly equivalent. We also show that non-amenable hyperbolic locally compact groups with a cocompact amenable subgroup are characterized by the property that any two proper length functions are homothetic up to an additive…

We show that if $H \leq G$ is a closed amenable and cocompact subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group, then the reduced group C*-algebra of $G$ is not simple. Equivalently, there are unitary…

The purpose of this paper is to prove a theorem which roughly states that if G is a topological group with a "sufficiently large" Type I subgroup H, then G itself is also Type I. The main tool in the…
