Abstract: We consider a new class of potentially exotic group C*-algebras $C_{P{F}_p^{\ast }}^{\ast }(G)$ for a locally compact group $G$, and its connection with the class of potentially exotic group C*-algebras $C_{L^p}^{\ast }(G)$ introduced by Brown and Guentner. Surprisingly, these two classes of C*-algebras are intimately related. By exploiting this connection, we show $C_{L^p}^{\ast }(G)=C_{P{F}_p^{\ast }}^{\ast }(G)$ for $pin(2,infty)$, and the C*-algebras $C_{L^p}^{\ast }(G)$ are pairwise distinct for $pin(2,infty)$ when $G$ belongs to a large class of nonamenable groups possessing the Haagerup property and either the rapid decay property or Kunze-Stein phenomenon by characterizing the positive definite functions that extend to positive linear functionals of $C_{L^p}^{\ast }(G)$ and $C_{P{F}_p^{\ast }}^{\ast }(G)$. This greatly generalizes earlier results of Okayasu and the second author on the pairwise distinctness of $C_{L^p}^{\ast }(G)$ for $2<p<infty$ when $G$ is either a noncommutative free group or the group $SL(2,mathbbR)$, respectively. As a byproduct of our techniques, we present two applications to the theory of unitary representations of a locally compact group $G$. Firstly, we give a short proof of the well-known Cowling-Haagerup-Howe Theorem which presents sufficient condition implying the weak containment of a cyclic unitary representation of $G$ in the left regular representation of $G$. Also we give a near solution to a 1978 conjecture of Cowling. This conjecture of Cowling states if $G$ is a Kunze-Stein group and $pi$ is a unitary representation of $G$ with cyclic vector $xi$ such that the map ${\displaystyle }$G i smapsto langle pi(s)xi,xi angle${\displaystyle }$ belongs to $L^p(G)$ for some $2<p<infty$, then $A_{p}isubseteq{L}^p(G)$. We show $B_{p}isubseteq{L}^{p+epsilon}(G)$ for every $epsilon>0$ (recall $A_{p}isubseteq{B}_{p}i$).
