Abstract
. We show that if a group G is mixed-identity-free, then the projective unitary group of its group von Neumann algebra contains a maximal discrete subgroup containing G . The proofs are elementary and make use of free probability theory. In addition, we clarify the situation for C ∗ -algebras.
