Abstract:
Let be a free product of at least two but at most countably many cyclic groups. With each such group we associate a family of C*-algebras, denoted and generated by the reduced group C*-algebra and a collection of projections onto the -spaces over certain subsets of . We determine , the weak closure of in , and use this result to show that many of the C*-algebras in question are non-nuclear.
