An abstract Brown-Douglas-Fillmore absorption theorem, II

The criterion of Elliott and Kucerovsky (see Part I) for an extension of a stable, nuclear, separable $C^\ast$ -algebra by an arbitrary separable $C^\ast$ -algebra to be absorbing--namely, that it be what is called ``purely large''--can be verified directly in all known cases.

This is joint work with Dan Kucerovsky.
