Idea

A C*-algebra is called nn-homogeneous (or n-dimensionally homogeneous) if each irreducible C C^\star-representation of the algebra is nn-dimensional.

Let AA be a C *{}^\ast-algebra. If the set of pure states of AA is compact and that of primitive ideal?s which are the kernels of one-dimensional irreducible reprentations forms an open set in the structure space of AA, then AA is isomorphic to the C *{}^\ast-sum of a finite number of homogeneous C *{}^\ast-algebras.
