Extract
An ideal I in a C*-algebra A is called primal if whenever n ≥ 2 and J1,…, Jn are ideals in A with zero product then Jk ⊆ I for at least one k. The topologized space of minimal primal ideals of A, Min-Primal (A), has been extensively studied by Archbold[3]. Very much in the spirit of Fell's work [14] it was shown in [3, theorem 5·3] (see also [5, theorem 3·4]) that if A is quasi-standard, then A is *-isomorphic to a maximal full algebra of cross-sections of Min-Primal (A). Moreover, if A is separable the fibre algebras are primitive throughout a dense subset. On the other hand, the complete regularization of the primitive ideal space of A gives rise to the space of so-called Glimm ideals of A, Glimm (A). It turned out that A is quasi-standard exactly when Min-Primal (A) and Glimm (A) coincide as sets and topologically [5, theorem 3·3].
