infinite dimensional representation of a $C^*$ algebra [closed]












1












$begingroup$


When $H$ is separable infinite dimensional,$K(H)$ has no finite representation.Do there exist other non-unital $C^*$ algebras such that their representations cannot be finite dimensional?

          Yes. Any simple infinite-dimensional C$^*$-algebra (that is, "most" of them in the sense that these are precisely the ones people study a lot) does not admit a finite-dimensional representation.

            Of course. Say $M_2 (mathbb C)oplus C_0 (mathbb R) $.
