Abstract: Let $(X,T,mu)$ be a Cantor minimal sytem and $[[T]]$ the associated topological full group. We analyze $C_p^{\ast }i([[T]])$, where $pi$ is the Koopman representation attached to the action of $[[T]]$ on $(X,mu)$. Specifically, we show that $C_p^{\ast }i([[T]])=C_p^{\ast }i([[T]{]}^{\prime })$ and that the kernel of the character $au$ on $C_p^{\ast }i([[T]])$ coming from weak containment of the trivial representation is a hereditary $C^{\ast }$-subalgebra of $C(X)timesmathbbZ$. Consequently, $kerau$ is stably isomorphic to $C(X)timesmathbbZ$, and $C_p^{\ast }i([[T]{]}^{\prime })$ is not AF. We also prove that if $G$ is a finitely generated, elementary amenable group and $C^{\ast }(G)$ has real rank zero, then $G$ is finite.
