Abstract

Let \( 0 \xrightarrow {}J \xrightarrow { } A \xrightarrow { }B \xrightarrow {} 0\) be an extension of \(C^*\)-algebras. Suppose that both J and B have tracial rank no more than one. It is shown that A has tracial topological rank no more than one whenever it is a quasidiagonal extension, and A has property \((P_1)\) if the extension is tracially quasidiagonal.
