Tóm tắt

We give a construction of a family of locally finite residually finite groups with just-infinite $$C^*$$ -algebra. This answers a question from Grigorchuk et al. (Just-infinite $$C^*$$ -algebras. https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.08774 , 2016). Additionally, we show that residually finite groups of finite exponent are never just-infinite.
