Let $G$ be a locally compact group. It is not always the case that its reduced C*-algebra $C^*_r(G)$ admits a tracial state. We exhibit closely related necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such. We gain a complete answer when $G$ compactly generated. In particular for $G$ almost connected, or more generally when $C^*_r(G)$ is nuclear, the existence of a trace is equivalent to amenability. We exhibit two examples of classes of totally disconnected groups for which $C^*_r(G)$ does not admit a tracial state.

In this short note we prove that the reduced group C*-algebra of a locally compact group admits a non-zero trace if and only if the amenable radical of the group is open. This completely answers a question raised by Forrest, Spronk and Wiersma.
Let $epsilon>0$ be a positive number. Is there a number $delta>0$ satisfying the following? Given any pair of unitaries $u$ and $v$ in a unital simple $C^*$-algebra $A$ with $[v]=0$ in $K_1(A)$ for which $$ |uv-vu|<dt, $$ there is a continuous path of unitaries ${v(t): tin [0,1]}subset A$ such that $$ v(0)=v, v(1)=1 and |uv(t)-v(t)u|<epsilon forall tin [0,1]. $$ An answer is given to this question when $A$ is assumed to be a unital simple $C^*$-algebra with tracial rank no more than one. Let $C$ be a unital separable amenable simple $C^*$-algebra with tracial rank no more than one which also satisfies the UCT. Suppose that $phi: Cto A$ is a unital monomorphism and suppose that $vin A$ is a unitary with $[v]=0$ in $K_1(A)$ such that $v$ almost commutes with $phi.$ It is shown that there is a continuous path of unitaries ${v(t): tin [0,1]}$ in $A$ with $v(0)=v$ and $v(1)=1$ such that the entire path $v(t)$ almost commutes with $phi,$ provided that an induced Bott map vanishes.

Let $C$ be a unital AH-algebra and let $A$ be a unital separable simple C*-algebra with tracial rank no more than one. Suppose that $phi, psi: Cto A$ are two unital monomorphisms. With some restriction on $C,$ we show that $phi$ and $psi$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if [phi]=[psi] in KL(C,A) taucirc phi=taucirc psi for all tracial states of A and phi^{ddag}=psi^{ddag}, here phi^{ddag} and psi^{ddag} are homomorphisms from $U(C)/CU(C)to U(A)/CU(A) induced by phi and psi, respectively, and where CU(C) and CU(A) are closures of the subgroup generated by commutators of the unitary groups of C and B.
We investigate the notion of tracial $mathcal Z$-stability beyond unital C*-algebras, and we prove that this notion is equivalent to $mathcal Z$-stability in the class of separable simple nuclear C*-algebras.
It has been established by Inoue that a complex locally C*-algebra with a dense ideal posesses a bounded approximate identity which belonges to that ideal. It has been shown by Fritzsche that if a unital complex locally C*-algebra has an unbounded element then it also has a dense one-sided ideal. In the present paper we obtain analogues of the aforementioned results of Inoue and Fritzsche for real locally C*-algebras (projective limits of projective families of real C*-algebras), and for locally JB-algebras (projective limits of projective families of JB-algebras).
