Stable rank and real rank for some classes of group \(C^*\)-algebras. (English) Zbl 1067.46044

Summary: We investigate the real and stable rank of the \(C^\ast\)-algebras of locally compact groups with relatively compact conjugacy classes or finite-dimensional irreducible representations. Estimates and formulae are given in terms of the group-theoretic rank.
