For G a locally compact group and G its dual, let Jd(G) be the C*algebra generated by the Fourier-Stieltjes transforms of the discrete measures on G. We show that the canonical trace on ,4(G) is faithful if and only if G is amenable as a discrete group. We further show that if G is nondiscrete and amenable as a discrete group, then the only measures in dKd(G) are the discrete measures, and also...
