Non-simple purely infinite C *-algebras

Abstract: A C *-algebra A is defined to be purely infinite if there are no characters on A , and if for every pair of positive elements a, b in A , such that b lies in the closed two-sided ideal generated by a , there exists a sequence { r n } in A such that r * n ar n → b . This definition agrees with the usual definition by J. Cuntz when A is simple. It is shown that the property of being purely infinite is preserved under extensions, Morita equivalence, inductive limits, and it passes to quotients, and to hereditary … Show more

“…Moreover, in the stably finite case, equivalence of projections in the Cuntz semigroup is the same as ordinary equivalence of projections, in matrix algebras over A (see, for example, [45] (p. 641)). Let us now make the slightly stronger assumption of stable rank 1.…”

“…Recall that for positive elements a ∈ M n (A) and b ∈ M m (A), we say that a is Cuntz below b, denoted a b, if there exists a sequence of elements x k in M m,n (A) such that x * k bx k → a in norm. We say A is purely infinite if there are no characters on A and for all a, b ∈ A + , we have a b if and only if a ∈ AbA (see [18,Definition 4.1]). …”

“…Proof. Supposing that ii) holds, we thus have a sequence of copies of O 2 , with generators a n and b n such that a n and b n asymptotically commute with the given element c. Recall that Kirchberg and Rørdam defined [13] a positive element c in the corona Q to be properly infinite if there exists a sequence of elements R n in M 2 (Q) such that R n ( c 0 0 0 ) R * n goes in norm to ( c 0 0 c ) . It is straightforward to check that R n := a n 0 b n 0 will do the job.…”
