The Kirchberg–Rørdam character criterion and infinite tensor-power Jiang–Su stability
A nonzero unital separable complex C-algebra is Jiang–Su stable exactly when its norm central-sequence algebra has no characters, for every free ultrafilter. This answers the Kirchberg–Rørdam character question. Also, the infinite minimal tensor power of every such algebra without characters is Jiang–Su stable, answering the Dadarlat–Toms question.

The Kirchberg–Rørdam character criterion
Sep 25, 2026·paper.pdfLean
We prove the Kirchberg–Rørdam character criterion: for every free ultrafilter on ℕ, a nonzero unital separable complex C-algebra absorbs the Jiang–Su algebra if and only if its norm central-sequence algebra has no characters. We also prove that the infinite minimal tensor power of every nonzero unital separable complex C-algebra without characters is -stable and contains a unital copy of .
