Abstract

The semigroups of unital extensions of separable C*-algebras come in two flavours: a strong and a weak version. By the unital Ext-groups, we mean the groups of invertible elements in these semigroups. We use the unital Ext-groups to obtain K-theoretic classification of both unital and non-unital extensions of C*-algebras, and in particular we obtain a complete K-theoretic classification of full extensions of UCT Kirchberg algebras by stable AF algebras.
