A \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\) is said to have the global Glimm halving property if, for every positive \(a\in A_+\) and every \(\varepsilon>0\), there exists \(b\in\overline{aAa}\) such that \(b^2=0\) and the positive part of \(a-\varepsilon\cdot 1\) belongs to the closed ideal of \(A\) generated by \(b\). If a \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\) has the global Glimm halving property then \(A\) is strictly antiliminal, i.e., every quotient of \(A\) is antiliminal. The authors show that the converse is true provided that the primitive ideal space of \(A\) is Hausdorff and finite dimensional. As an application of the Global Glimm halving property, the authors show that \(C^*\)-algebras with Hausdorff primitive ideal space of finite dimension are purely infinite iff all their simple quotients are purely infinite.
