Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a discrete group. We show that if $Gamma$ is nonamenable, then the algebraic tensor products $C_r^{\ast }(Gamma)otimes{C}_r^{\ast }(Gamma)$ and $C^{\ast }(Gamma)otimes{C}_r^{\ast }(Gamma)$ do not admit unique $C^{\ast }$-norms. Moreover, when $Gamm{a}_1$ and $Gamm{a}_2$ are discrete groups containing copies of noncommutative free groups, then $C_r^{\ast }(Gamm{a}_1)otimes{C}_r^{\ast }(Gamm{a}_2)$ and $C^{\ast }(Gamm{a}_1)otimes{C}_r^{\ast }(Gamm{a}_2)$ admit $2^{alep{h}_0}$ $C^{\ast }$-norms. Analogues of these results continue to hold when these familiar group $C^{\ast }$-algebras are replaced by appropriate intermediate group $C^{\ast }$-algebras.
