Abstract

We prove that Voiculescu's noncommutative version of the Weyl-von Neumann Theorem can be extended to all unital, separably representable -algebras whose density character is strictly smaller than the (uncountable) cardinal invariant. We show moreover that Voiculescu's Theorem consistently fails for -algebras of larger density character.
