Abstract

C^*-algebras arising from directed graphs and their generalizations, Exel–Laca algebras \mathcal{O}_A of an infinite matrix A, are considered. Characterizations of pure infiniteness (in the sense of [11]) and of stability are given. In particular, these C^*-algebras admit no non-zero trace if and only if they are purely infinite. Stability is characterized by the absence of non-zero unital quotients and a bounded trace. Also, graph-theoretical analogues of pure infiniteness and stability are obtained.
