Abstract. Let Fn, n ≥ 2, be the free group with n generators, denoted by U1, U2, . . . , Un. Let C ∗ (Fn) be the full C ∗-algebra of Fn. Let X be the vector subspace of the algebraic tensor product C∗ (Fn) ⊗ C∗ (Fn), spanned by 1 ⊗ 1, U1 ⊗ 1, . . . , Un ⊗ 1, 1 ⊗ U1, . . . , 1⊗Un. Let ‖ · ‖min and ‖ · ‖max be the minimal and maximal C∗ tensor norms on C∗ (Fn)⊗C (Fn), and use the same notation fo...
