Infinite tensor products of Cāˆ—-algebras

Bruce Blackadar

Vol. 72 (1977), No. 2, 313–334
Abstract

The infinite tensor product A = (Ai,pi) of a family of C-algebras Ai with respect to projections pi Ai is examined. The primitive ideal space and the characters of A are completely described in the case where each Ai is simple, or separable and nuclear. If A is not type I, an explicit construction is given of a factor representation of A generating an arbitrary hyperfinite factor. In addition, new results are obtained about primitive ideals and characters of a tensor product of two C-algebras. Examples are given of various phenomena, providing solutions to previously published problems.
