Abstract

It is proved that if a locally compact group G acts simplicially on a tree in such a way that the stabilizers of the vertices are amenable, then G is K-amenable. In particular, the canonical map from the full C ∗-algebra onto the reduced C ∗-algebra of G induces isomorphisms in K-theory. The main corollary of our result is that SL 2( Q p ) and some other groups over local fields are K-amenable.
