Abstract:
Let A be a $n$-homogeneous ($n\geqslant 4$) $C^*$-algebra. Further, suppose the space $primA$ of primitive ideals for the algebra $A$ is homeomorphic to a two-dimensional oriented manifold. In this case, the algebra $A$ can be generated by three idempotents. The algebra $A$ can not be generated by two idempotents.
