Abstract

We give necessary and sufficient conditions which a graph should satisfy in order for its associated C -algebra to have a T 1 primitive ideal space. We give a description of which one-point sets in such a primitive ideal space are open, and use this to prove that anypurely infinite graph C -algebra purely infinite graph C -algebra purely infinite graph C -algebra with a T 1 (in particular Hausdorff) primitive ideal space, is a c 0-direct sum of Kirchberg algebras. Moreover, we show that graph C -algebras with a T 1 primitive ideal space canonically may be given the structure of a \(C(\tilde{\mathbb{N}})\)-algebra, and that isomorphisms of their \(\tilde{\mathbb{N}}\)-filtered K-theory (without coefficients) lift to \(E(\tilde{\mathbb{N}})\)-equivalences, as defined by Dadarlat and Meyer.
