Colimits of short exact sequences of C*-algebras

Assume I have an inductive system of short exact sequences of $C^{\ast}$-algebras (i.e., short exact sequences $0 \to A_n \to B_n \to C_n \to 0$ together with transformations from the $n$-th to the $(...

Pushout of $C^*$-algebras using generalised morphisms

There is a known construction of pushout of $C^*$-algebras, or rather, the amalgamated free product, which is universal for commutative squares of $*$-homomorphisms. Jensen and Thomsen in their book ...

Primitive ideals of inductive limits of $C^*$-algebras

I am trying to understand ideals of direct limits in the category of $C^{\ast}$-algebras. Let $(A_n,f_n)$ be a direct sequence of $C^{\ast}$-algebras and let $I$ be a primitive (modular) ideal of ...

Behaviour of direct limit with matrices

I am trying to understand direct limits in the category of $C^*$-algebras by self reading. My last question was also related to direct limits. Here is another of my doubts: Let $(A_n,f_n)$ be a ...

maximal tensor product commutes with inductive limits

Let $(A_n, \phi_n)$ be an inductive system of $C^*$ algebras and let $B$ be an arbitary $C^*$ algebra. I want to prove $(\varinjlim A_n)\otimes_{max} B \cong \varinjlim (A_n \otimes_{max} B)$. This ...

How "nondegenerate" are amalgamated free products of C*-algebras?

In the following, I assume all algebras are unital. Let $A$ and $B$ be C*-algebras that each contain (isomorphic copies of) a common C*-subalgebra $C$. Let $A *_C B$ denote the amalgamated free ...

Do direct limits (filtered colimits) commute with pullbacks, in C*-algebras?

I asked this question already on math.stackexchange, but maybe it is also useful to ask this here, since it was not answered there. Suppose we have three directed sequences of $C^*$-algebras, say $(...
