Abstract

We discuss the three-space problem on discreteness for the Jacobson topology on the spectrum of a C*-algebra in detail. As an application, it is shown that a C*-algebra A is a dual C*-algebra if and only if a closed ideal I of A and the quotient A/I are dual C*-algebras and the open central projection, in the second dual of A, corresponding to I is a multiplier for A.
