Review text

Let \(G\) be a 2-step nilpotent locally compact group, and let \(H\) be a closed central subgroup of \(G\) containing the commutator subgroup. For any character \(\lambda\) of \(H\), let \(C^*(G)_\lambda\) denote the quotient of the group \(C^*\)-algebra \(C^*(G)\) by the \(C^*\)-kernel of the representation of \(G\) induced by \(\lambda\). The purpose of the paper is to completely determine the structure of \(C^*(G)_\lambda\). This goal is achieved under some mild assumption which is, for instance, satisfied when \(G\) is compactly generated. It is shown (Theorem 1) that \(C^*(G)_\lambda\) is stably isomorphic to the \(C^*\)-tensor product of some commutative \(C^*\)-algebra, which can be described explicitly, a noncommutative torus and the algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space. Let \(G_\lambda= \{x\in G: \lambda(xyx^{-1} y^{-1})= 1\) for all \(y\in G\}\). If \(G_\lambda\) fails to be open in \(G\), then \(C^*(G)_\lambda\) is actually isomorphic to such a tensor product. Theorem 1 has been conjectured in [\textit{A. Lüdeking} and \textit{D. Poguntke}, J. Lie Theory 4, No. 1, 39-103 (1994; Zbl 0828.22014)]. The proof makes substantial use of results of that article and also requires fairly intricate arguments.
