Finite sums and products of commutators in inductive limit \(C^ \ast\)- algebras (Q1210527)

Results of T. Fack, P. de la Harpe and G. Skandalis concerning the internal structure of simple \(AF\)-algebras are extended to \(C^*\)- algebras that are inductive limits of finite direct sums of homogeneous \(C^*\)-algebras. The generalizations are obtained with slightly varying assumptions on the building blocks, but all results are applicable to unital simple inductive limits of finite direct sums of circle algebras.
