Villadsen () was the first to show that the K0 -group of a simple C ∗ -algebra need not be weakly unperforated; Villadsen () also showed that a unital, finite, simple C ∗ -algebra can have stable rank different from one—thus answering in the negative two longstanding open questions for simple C ∗ -algebras.

In order to show that Mω belongs to D, it is enough to show that Ext1 (S, Mω ) = 0 for all simple ob jects in t (then clearly Ext1 (T ′′ , Mω ) = 0 for any ob ject T ′′ in t).

In order to show that Hom(t, Mω ) = 0, it is sufficient to show that Hom(S, Mω ) = 0 for any simple ob ject S in t.
