Abstract:
In this paper we prove that the ${C^\ast }$-algebra generated by the left regular representation of a discrete group is amenable if and only if the group is amenable. Theorems concerning finite operators and the relationship between finite operators and amenable ${C^\ast }$-algebras are proved.References
