Abstract

We introduce the fundamental group F˚(A¸)\r{F}(\c{A}) of a unital CC^*-algebra A¸\c{A} with finite dimensional trace space. The elements of fundamental group are restricted by K-theoretical obstruction and positivity. Moreover we show there are uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple CC^{*}-algebras such that F˚(A¸)={In}\r{F}(\c{A})=\set{I_{n}}. Our study is due to the results of fundamental group by Nawata and Watatani.
