The Furstenberg-boundary criterion for simplicity of the reduced group C*-algebra

From papers

Let GG be a second countable locally compact group. Furstenberg-boundary simplicity conjecture. If some point of the Furstenberg boundary of GG has a trivial stabilizer, then

Cr(G) is simple.C^*_r(G)\text{ is simple}.

This extends the corresponding result known for discrete groups to non-discrete locally compact groups; the source states that the general case is currently unknown.
