Locally universal C*-algebras with computable presentations
Abstract
The Kirchberg Embedding Problem (KEP) asks if every C*-algebra embeds into an
ultrapower of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$. In an effort to provide a
negative solution to the KEP and motivated by the recent refutation of the
Connes Embedding Problem, we establish two computability-theoretic consequences
of a positive solution to KEP. Both of our results follow from the a priori
weaker assumption that there exists a locally universal C*-algebra with a
computable presentation.
