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 $G$ 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.
To a large class of graphs of groups we associate a C*-algebra universal for generators and relations. We show that this C*-algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of groups on
the boundary of its Bass-Serre tree. We characterise when this action is minimal, and find a sufficient condition under which it is locally contractive. In the case of generalised Baumslag-Solitar graphs of groups (graphs of groups in which every group is infinite cyclic) we also characterise topological freeness of this action. We are then able to establish a dichotomy for simple C*-algebras associated to generalised Baumslag-Solitar graphs of groups: they are either a Kirchberg algebra, or a stable Bunce-Deddens algebra.
Given a C*-algebra $A$, a discrete abelian group $X$ and a homomorphism $Theta: Xto$ Out$A$ defining the dual action group $Gammasubset$ aut$A$, the paper contains results on existence and characterization of Hilbert ${A,Gamma}$, where the action is
given by $hat{X}$. They are stated at the (abstract) C*-level and can therefore be considered as a refinement of the extension results given for von Neumann algebras for example by Jones [Mem.Am.Math.Soc. 28 Nr 237 (1980)] or Sutherland [Publ.Res.Inst.Math.Sci. 16 (1980) 135]. A Hilbert extension exists iff there is a generalized 2-cocycle. These results generalize those in [Commun.Math.Phys. 15 (1969) 173], which are formulated in the context of superselection theory, where it is assumed that the algebra $A$ has a trivial center, i.e. $Z=C1$. In particular the well-known ``outer characterization of the second cohomology $H^2(X,{cal U}(Z),alpha_X)$ can be reformulated: there is a bijection to the set of all $A$-module isomorphy classes of Hilbert extensions. Finally, a Hilbert space representation (due to Sutherland in the von Neumann case) is mentioned. The C*-norm of the Hilbert extension is expressed in terms of the norm of this representation and it is linked to the so-called regular representation appearing in superselection theory.
Given a normal subgroup bundle $mathcal A$ of the isotropy bundle of a groupoid $Sigma$, we obtain a twisted action of the quotient groupoid $Sigma/mathcal A$ on the bundle of group $C^*$-algebras determined by $mathcal A$ whose twisted crossed produ
ct recovers the groupoid $C^*$-algebra $C^*(Sigma)$. Restricting to the case where $mathcal A$ is abelian, we describe $C^*(Sigma)$ as the $C^*$-algebra associated to a $mathbf T$-groupoid over the tranformation groupoid obtained from the canonical action of $Sigma/mathcal A$ on the Pontryagin dual space of $mathcal A$. We give some illustrative examples of this result.
We give the beginnings of the development of a theory of what we call R-coactions of a locally compact group on a $C^*$-algebra. These are the coactions taking values in the maximal tensor product, as originally proposed by Raeburn. We show that the
theory has some gaps as compared to the more familiar theory of standard coactions. However, we indicate how we needed to develop some of the basic properties of R-coactions as a tool in our program involving the use of coaction functors in the study of the Baum-Connes conjecture.
