Abstract

We give a complete classification (up to unitary equivalence) of extensions of $C(X)$ by a separable simple AF-algebra $A$ with a unique trace (up to scalar multiples), where $X$ is a compact subset of the plane. In particular, we show that there are non-trivial extensions $\tau$ such that $[\tau]=0$ in ${\rm Ext}(C(X),A).$ A new index is introduced to determine when an extension is trivial. Extensions of $C(S^2)$ and other algebras are also studied. Our results work for a larger class of C*-algebras of real rank zero.
