Kirchberg's Embedding Problem


Kirchberg's embedding problem asks whether every separable unital C*-algebra admits a unital embedding into a norm ultrapower O_2^omega of the Cuntz algebra O_2, where omega is a free ultrafilter on the positive integers. The quotient here uses operator norms rather than a tracial seminorm.
