Abstract: By analogy with the well-established notions of just-infinite groups and just-infinite (abstract) algebras, we initiate a systematic study of just-infinite C*-algebras, i.e., infinite dimensional C*-algebras for which all proper quotients are finite dimensional. We give a classification of such C*-algebras in terms of their primitive ideal space that leads to a trichotomy. We show that just-infinite, residually finite dimensional C*-algebras do exist by giving an explicit example of (the Bratteli diagram of) an AF-algebra with these properties. Further, we discuss when C*-algebras and *-algebras associated with a discrete group are just-infinite. If $G$ is the Burnside-type group of intermediate growth discovered by the first named author, which is known to be just-infinite, then its group algebra $C[G]$ and its group C*-algebra $C^{*}(G)$ are not just-infinite. Furthermore, we show that the algebra $B=pi(C[G])$ under the Koopman representation $pi$ of $G$ associated with its canonical action on a binary rooted tree is just-infinite. It remains an open problem whether the residually finite dimensional C*-algebra $C_p^{*}i(G)$ is just-infinite.
