Kaplansky's quasitrace conjecture and failure of tensor-product stable finiteness
What the paper claims, in its own words
Disproves Kaplansky's quasitrace conjecture by constructing a separable unital complex C∗-algebra admitting normalized 2-quasitraces, all of which are nonadditive. As a consequence, two unital simple stably finite C∗-algebras can have a properly infinite minimal tensor product, with one factor .
