Abstract
We investigate conditions under which the corona algebra of a nonunital, simple C*-algebra is properly infinite. Among other things, we prove that if B is a nonunital, separable, simple, Z-stable C*-algebra with Property I and having an approximate unit consisting of projections, then C(B) is properly infinite if and only if T(B) is compact. We also provide other characterizations.
