Let Γ be a free noncommutative group with free generating set A+. Let μ ∈ ℓ1(Γ) be real, symmetric, nonnegative and suppose that supp. Let λ be an endpoint of the spectrum of μ considered as a convolver on ℓ2(Γ). Then λ − μ is in the left kernel of exactly one pure state of the reduced in particular, Paschke's conjecture holds for λ − μ.
