Abstract
Given a separated graph (E, C), there are two different C *-algebras associated to it: the full graph C *-algebra C *(E, C) and the reduced one Cred*(E,C). For a large class of separated graphs (E, C), we prove that Cred*(E,C) either is purely infinite simple or admits a faithful tracial state. The main tool we use to show pure infiniteness of reduced graph C *-algebras is a generalization to the amalgamated case of a result on purely infinite simple free products due to Dykema. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
