The boundary-representation C*-simplicity conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

Let GG be a second countable locally compact group and let ∂FG\partial_F G be its Furstenberg boundary. For z∈∂FGz\in\partial_F G, assume that zz is a continuity point of the stabilizer map

∂FG→Sub⁡(G).\partial_F G\to \operatorname{Sub}(G).

Boundary-representation C-simplicity conjecture.* The C∗C^*-algebra associated with the quasi-regular representation on G/GzG/G_z is simple:

CλG/Gz∗(G) is simple.C^*_{\lambda_{G/G_z}}(G)\text{ is simple}.

Equivalently, in the source's URS notation, C∗(A)C^*(\mathcal A) should be simple for the stabilizer URS A\mathcal A of the action on the Furstenberg boundary. This is presented as a strengthening of the preceding conjecture and remains open in the source.
