Abstract

A $C^{*}$ -algebra A is said to detect nuclearity if, whenever a $C^{*}$ -algebra B satisfies $A\otimes _{\mathrm{min}} B = A\otimes _{\mathrm{max}} B,$ it follows that B is nuclear. In this note, we survey the main results associated with this topic and present the background and tools necessary for proving the main results. In particular, we show that the $C^{*}$ -algebra $A = C^{*}(\mathbb {F}_{\infty })\otimes _{\mathrm{min}} B(\ell ^{2})/K(\ell ^{2})$ detects nuclearity. This result is known to experts, but has never appeared in the literature.
