Generalized inductive limits of quasidiagonal C∗-algebras

If A is a unital quasidiagonal C∗-algebra, we construct a generalized inductive limit BA which is simple, unital and inherits many structural properties from A. If A is the unitization of a non-simple purely infinite algebra (e.g., the cone over a Cuntz algebra), then BA is tracially AF which, among other things, lends support to a conjecture of Toms. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
