Abstract
AF-embeddability, ie the question whether a given C-algebra can be realised as a subalgebra of an AF-algebra has been studied for a long time with prominent early results by Pimsner and Voicuescu who constructed such embeddings for irrational rotation algebras in 1980. Since then many AF-embeddings have been constructed for concrete examples but also many non-constructive AF-embeddability results have been obtained for classes of algebras typically assuming the UCT . In this talk we consider a separable unital C-algebra A of decomposition rank at most 1 and construct from a suitable system of 1-decomposable cpc-approximations an AF-algebra E together with an embedding of A into E and a conditional expectation of E onto A without assuming the UCT . We also indicate some applications.
