Abstract: Let $ell$ be a length function on a group G, and let $M_{ell}$ denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by $ell$ on $$. Following Connes, $M_{ell}$ can be used as a ``Dirac operator for $C_r^{\ast }(G)$. It defines a Lipschitz seminorm on $C_r^{\ast }(G)$, which defines a metric on the state space of $C_r^{\ast }(G)$. We show that if G is a hyperbolic group and if $ell$ is a word-length function on G, then the topology from this metric coincides with the weak-* topology (our definition of a ``compact quantum metric space). We show that a convenient framework is that of filtered $C^{\ast }$-algebras which satisfy a suitable `` Haagerup-type condition. We also use this framework to prove an analogous fact for certain reduced free products of $C^{\ast }$-algebras.
