Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a discrete group and let $finel{l}^1(Gamma)$. We observe that if the natural convolution operator $h{o}_f:el{l}^{infty}(Gamma)oel{l}^{infty}(Gamma)$ is injective, then f is invertible in $el{l}^1(Gamma)$. Our proof simplifies and generalizes calculations in a preprint of Deninger and Schmidt, by appealing to the direct finiteness of the algebra $el{l}^1(Gamma)$. We give simple examples to show that in general one cannot replace $el{l}^{infty}$ with $el{l}^p$, $1leqp<infty$, nor with $L^{infty}(G)$ for nondiscrete G. Finally, we consider the problem of extending the main result to the case of weighted convolution operators on $Gamma$, and give some partial results.
