Abstract

In this paper we prove that the Thompson groups T and V are not inner amenable. In particular, their group von Neumann algebras do not have property Γ. Moreover, we prove that if the reduced group C⁎-algebra of T is simple, then the Thompson group F is non-amenable. Furthermore, we give a few new equivalent characterizations of amenability of F.
