Exact C*-algebra
In mathematics, an exact C*-algebra is a C*-algebra that preserves exact sequences under the minimum tensor product.
Definition
A C*-algebra E is exact if, for any short exact sequence,
the sequence
where ⊗min denotes the minimum tensor product, is also exact.
Properties
- Every nuclear C*-algebra is exact.
- Every sub-C*-algebra and every quotient of an exact C*-algebra is exact. An extension of exact C*-algebras is not exact in general.
- It follows that every sub-C*-algebra of a nuclear C*-algebra is exact.
Characterizations
Exact C*-algebras have the following equivalent characterizations:
- A C*-algebra A is exact if and only if A is nuclearly embeddable into B(H), the C*-algebra of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space H.
- A C*-algebra is exact if and only if every separable sub-C*-algebra is exact.
- A separable C*-algebra A is exact if and only if it is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Cuntz algebra .
