Approximations of subhomogeneous algebras. (English) Zbl 1437.46056

Summary: Let \(n\) be a positive integer. A \(C^{\ast }\)-algebra is said to be \(n\)-subhomogeneous if all its irreducible representations have dimension at most \(n\). We give various approximation properties characterising \(n\)-subhomogeneous \(C^{\ast }\)-algebras.
