Quasitraces on exact C*-algebras are traces
Abstract
It is shown that all 2-quasitraces on a unital exact C*-algebra are traces. As consequences one gets: (1) Every stably finite exact unital C*-algebra has a tracial state, and (2) if an AW*-factor of type II1 is generated (as an AW*-algebra) by an exact C*-subalgebra, then it is a von Neumann II1-factor. This is a partial solution to a well known problem of Kaplansky. The present result was used by Blackadar, Kumjian and Rrdam to prove that RR(A)=0 for every simple non-commutative torus of any dimension.
