Fau's graph-algebra nowhere-scatteredness conjecture

Let EE be a row-finite graph, and let C(E)C^*(E) denote its graph CC^*-algebra. The algebra C(E)C^*(E) is nowhere scattered when it has no nonzero scattered quotient. The graph EE is said to have Condition (K) and distinct detours as in the source.

Fau's graph-algebra conjecture. C(E)C^*(E) is nowhere scattered if and only if C(E)C^*(E) is Z\mathcal{Z}-stable, if and only if EE has Condition (K) and distinct detours.

This is a characterization of nowhere scatteredness for graph CC^*-algebras in terms of regularity of the algebra and combinatorial properties of the graph. The supplied text gives a related theorem for finite graphs, but does not establish the stated row-finite formulation.
