Abstact

A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a separable C*-algebra to be *-isomorphic to a maximal full algebra of cross-sections over a base space such that the fibre algebras are primitive throughout a dense subset. The condition is that the relation of inseparability for pairs of points in the primitive ideal space should be an open equivalence relation.
