A C *‐algebra A is said to be monotone (respectively monotone σ‐) complete if every increasing net (respectively increasing sequence) of elements in the ordered space A h of all hermitian elements of A has a supremum in A h . It is straightforward to verify that every monotone complete C *‐algebra is an AW *‐algebra. For type I AW *‐algebras, the converse is known to be true. However, for general AW *‐algebras, this question is still open, although an impressive attack on the problem was made by E. Christensen and G. K. Pedersen, who showed that properly infinite AW *‐algebras are monotone σ‐complete [ 4 ]. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 46L05, 46L06.
