We study the existence of faithful tracial states on C * -algebras as well as the stronger proerty that all quotients admit faithful tracial states. We provide a sufficient and necessary condition for when C * -algebras admit faithful tracial states in terms of the Cuntz semigroup and use this to give an equivalent formulation for all quotients to admit faithful tracial states. We relate this to the notion of strong quasidiagonality, and show that any amenable discrete group with faithful tracial states on all quotients of the corresponding group-C * -algebra is strongly quasidiagonal under the condition that all quotients satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
