Dykema Free products of C*-algebras
Abstract Recent years have seen plenty of progress in
understanding C*-algebras arising as reduced free products, including results
about ideals (or lack thereof), stable rank, projections and K-theory, infinite
projections and exactness. After introducing (or recalling) Voiculescu's notion
of freeness and his construction of reduced (amalgamated) free products of
C*-algebras, we will make a survey of these results. We also intend to include
details of proofs in some special cases. Return to
