Abstract

We show that a separable C*-algebra AA is Z\mathcal{Z}-stable if and only if its uncorrected central sequence algebra AAUA' \cap A_{\mathcal{U}} is pure, if and only if Kirchberg's central sequence algebra F(A)F(A) is pure. More generally, we show that a C*-algebra AA is separably Z\mathcal{Z}-stable if and only if the relative central sequence algebra BAUB' \cap A_{\mathcal{U}} is pure for every separable subalgebra BAUB \subseteq A_{\mathcal{U}}.
