Abstract
We will investigate the intersection of the normal operators with the closure of the nilpotent and quasinilpotent operators in various C*-algebras. A complete characterization will be given for type I and type III von Neumann algebras with separable predual and for unital, simple, purely infinite C*-algebras. Some restrictions that prevent normal operators from being limits of quasinilpotent operators will be given. The case of AF C*-algebras will be of particular interest. In addition, the closure of the span of the nilpotent operators and the distance from a projection to the nilpotent operators of various C*-algebras will be examined.
