Abstract:Say that a separable, unital $ C^*$-algebra $ \mathcal{D} \ncong \mathbb{C}$ is strongly self-absorbing if there exists an isomorphism $ \varphi: \mathcal{D} \to \mathcal{D} \otimes \mathcal{D}$ such that $ \varphi$ and $ \mathrm{id}_{\mathcal{D}} \otimes \mathbf{1}_{\mathcal{D}}$ are approximately unitarily equivalent $ *$-homomorphisms. We study this class of algebras, which includes the Cuntz algebras $ \mathcal{O}_2$, $ \mathcal{O}_{\infty}$, the UHF algebras of infinite type, the Jiang-Su algebra $ \mathcal{Z}$ and tensor products of $ \mathcal{O}_{\infty}$ with UHF algebras of infinite type. Given a strongly self-absorbing $ C^{*}$-algebra $ \mathcal{D}$ we characterise when a separable $ C^*$-algebra absorbs $ \mathcal{D}$ tensorially (i.e., is $ \mathcal{D}$-stable), and prove closure properties for the class of separable $ \mathcal{D}$-stable $ C^*$-algebras. Finally, we compute the possible $ K$-groups and prove a number of classification results which suggest that the examples listed above are the only strongly self-absorbing $ C^*$-algebras.
