We construct a finitely generated discrete group whose reduced group C ∗ -algebra contains a projection of irrational canonical trace. Its K 0 -class lies outside the image of the coefficient-free reduced Baum–Connes assembly map. This disproves the coefficient-free reduced Baum–Connes conjecture for countable discrete groups.
