Generalized inductive limits and maximal stably finite quotients of \(C^\ast \)-algebras. (English) Zbl 1485.46057

Summary: For any \(C^\ast \)-algebra \(A\), there is the smallest ideal \(I(A)\) of \(A\) such that the quotient \(A / I(A)\) is stably finite. Let \(\varphi\) be a \(^\ast \)-homomorphism from a \(C^\ast \)-algebra \(A\) to a \(C^\ast \)-algebra \(B\). It is obvious that \(\phi(I(A)) \subset I(B)\). We denote the restriction \(\varphi\) to \(I(A)\) by \(I(\phi)\). Then \(I\) is a functor between categories of \(C^\ast \)-algebras. In this paper, we will consider exactness of the functor \(I\). For this purpose, we give the definition of a generalized inductive system of a directed set of \(C^\ast \)-algebras and some general results about such limits.
