The theorem states that for every non-unital C*-algebra A (with a partial order making it a star-ordered ring), if A is exact and weakly purely infinite, then A is strongly purely infinite. Exactness of A means: for all non-unital C*-algebras C and D in the same universe and every surjective star-homomorphism q : C → D, any element z of the minimal (spatial) tensor product of A and C whose image vanishes under every spatial representation of A ⊗ D pulled back along q (that is, z evaluates to zero at every representation of A and D on Hilbert spaces, with the D-representation precomposed with q) must lie in the closed star-subalgebra generated by the elementary tensors a ⊗ c with q(c) = 0. Weakly purely infinite means there is an integer n ≥ 1 such that, for every nonzero positive a in A, the n×n diagonal matrix over A with all diagonal entries a is properly infinite, where a matrix x is properly infinite if the block sum x ⊕ x is Cuntz-subequivalent to x, meaning that for every ε > 0 there is a matrix v over A, with rows indexed like x and columns indexed like x ⊕ x, such that ‖vxv − (x ⊕ x)‖ < ε. Strongly purely infinite means that for all positive a, b in A and every ε > 0 there exist s, t in A such that ‖sa²s − a²‖ < ε, ‖tb²t − b²‖ < ε, and ‖sabt‖ < ε.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
