Abstract: | We introduce the notion of tracial topological rank for C*-algebras.In the commutative case, this notion coincides with the coveringdimension. Inductive limits of C*-algebrasof the form PMn(C(X))P,where X is a compact metric space with dim X k, and P is aprojection in Mn(C(X)), have tracial topological rank no morethan k. Non-nuclear C*-algebras can have small tracial topologicalrank. It is shown that if A is a simple unital C*-algebra withtracial topological rank k (< ), then- (i) A is quasidiagonal,
- (ii) A has stable rank 1,
- (iii) A has weakly unperforatedK0(A),
- (iv) A has the following Fundamental Comparabilityof Blackadar:if p, q A are two projections with (p) < (q)for all tracialstates on A, then p q
