Naimark's problem

-algebra of compact operators on some (not necessarily separable) Hilbert space.

The problem has been solved in the affirmative for special cases (specifically for separable and Type-I C*-algebras).

Akemann & Weaver (2004) used the diamond principle to construct a C*-algebra with

generators that serves as a counterexample to Naimark's problem.

More precisely, they showed that the existence of a counterexample generated by
