Some C*-algebras properties preserved by tracial approximation

We show that the Riesz interpolation property of the K ₀-monoid of C*-algebras in the class Ω is inherited by simple unital C*-algebras in the class TAΩ, and the property of being an admissible target algebras of finite type in the class of Ω is inherited by unital C*-algebras in the class TAΩ.     

A Dixmier-Douady theorem for Fell algebras

We generalise the Dixmier-Douady classification of continuous-trace C^?-algebras to Fell algebras. To do so, we show that C^?-diagonals in Fell algebras are precisely abelian subalgebras with the extension property, and use this to prove that every Fell algebra is Morita equivalent to one containing a diagonal subalgebra. We then use the machinery of twisted groupoid C^?-algebras and equivariant sheaf cohomology to define an analogue of the Dixmier-Douady invariant for Fell algebras, and to prove our classification theorem.     

Classification of extensions of classifiable -algebras

For a certain class of extensions of C^*-algebras in which B and A belong to classifiable classes of C^*-algebras, we show that the functor which sends to its associated six term exact sequence in K-theory and the positive cones of K₀(B) and K₀(A) is a classification functor. We give two independent applications addressing the classification of a class of C^*-algebras arising from substitutional shift spaces on one hand and of graph algebras on the other. The former application leads to the answer of a question of Carlsen and the first named author concerning the completeness of stabilized Matsumoto algebras as an invariant of flow equivalence. The latter leads to the first classification result for nonsimple graph C^*-algebras.     

Certain classes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-algebras preserved by tracial approximation

We show that the following classes of C*-algebras in the classes Ω are inherited by simple unital C*-algebras in the classes TAΩ: (1) simple unital purely infinite C*-algebras, (2) unital isometrically rich C*-algebras, (3) unital Riesz interpolation C*-algebras.     

Perturbations of C*-Algebraic Invariants

Kadison and Kastler introduced a metric on the set of all C*-algebras on a fixed Hilbert space. In this paper structural properties of C*-algebras which are close in this metric are examined. Our main result is that the property of having a positive answer to Kadison’s similarity problem transfers to close C*-algebras. In establishing this result we answer questions about closeness of commutants and tensor products when one algebra satisfies the similarity property. We also examine K-theory and traces of close C*-algebras, showing that sufficiently close algebras have isomorphic Elliott invariants when one algebra has the similarity property.     

The Heisenberg group andK-theory

A simple proof of Bott periodicity, and at the same time of the Connes isomorphism theorem for one-parameter crossed products, is given using continuous fields ofC*-algebras.     

Non-commutative shifts and crossed products

When A is a unital simple AF C∗-algebra and has a unique tracial state, it is shown that the crossed product of the two-sided infinite tensor product by the shift is a tracially AF C∗-algebra. A similar result is given to the crossed product of a certain non-unital two-sided infinite tensor product by the shift. Applying a far-reaching classification result of such C∗-algebras by H. Lin, we obtain an example of a one-parameter automorphism group on some AF C∗-algebra which is not approximately inner, a counter-example to the AF version of the so-called Powers-Sakai conjecture [23].     

A purely infinite AH-algebra and an application to AF-embeddability

We show that there exists a purely infinite AH-algebra. The AH-algebra arises as an inductive limit ofC*-algebras of the formC ₀([0, 1),M _k ) and it absorbs the Cuntz algebra ctive limit of the finite and elementaryC*-algebrasC ₀([0, 1),M _k ). As an application we give a new proof of a recent theorem of Ozawa that the cone over any separable exactC*-algebra is AF-embeddable, and we exhibit a concrete AF-algebra into which this class ofC*-algebras can be embedded.

Absolute continuity for linear forms onB *-algebras and a Radon-Nikodym type theorem (quadratic version)

The notion of absolute continuity for linear forms onB ^*-algebras is introduced and investigated. The main result is a general Radon-Nikodym type theorem in the context of B^*-algebras which extends a well-known theorem of S. Sakai and has diverse applications in the theory of operator algebras.     

On Unital Full Amalgamated Free Products of Quasidiagonal C*-Algebras

In the paper, we consider the question as to whether a unital full amalgamated free product of quasidiagonal C*-algebras is itself quasidiagonal. We give a sufficient condition for a unital full amalgamated free product of quasidiagonal C*-algebras with amalgamation over a finite-dimensional C*-algebra to be quasidiagonal. By applying this result, we conclude that the unital full free product of two AF algebras with amalgamation over a finite-dimensional C*-algebra is AF if there exists a faithful tracial state on each of the two AF algebras such that the restrictions of these states to the common subalgebra coincide.     

Description of Real AW*-Factors of Type I

In the paper, real AW*-algebras are considered, i.e., real C*-algebras which are Baer *-rings. It is proved that every real AW*-factor of type I (i.e., having a minimal projection) is isometrically *-isomorphic to the algebra B(H) of all bounded linear operators on a real or quaternionic Hilbert space H and, in particular, is a real W*-factor. In the case of complex AW*-algebras, a similar result was proved by Kaplansky.     

A Class of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-algebras with non-stable <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>-group property

In this paper, we give a class of C*-algebras with non-stable K ₁-group property which include the example non-simple tracial topological rank zero and stable rank two C*-algebra given by Lin and Osaka.     

Classification for Certain Simple Real Rank ZeroC*-Algebras

In this paper aK-theoretic classification is given of the simple real rank zeroC*-algebras that can be expressed as inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of matrix algebras over finite connected graphs (possibly with dimension drop). This class ofC*-algebras provides torsionK₁. The special case that the graphs are intervals is due to Elliott.     

The graded Grothendieck group and the classification of Leavitt path algebras

This paper is an attempt to show that, parallel to Elliott’s classification of AF C*-algebras by means of K-theory, the graded K ₀-group classifies Leavitt path algebras completely. In this direction, we prove this claim at two extremes, namely, for the class of acyclic graphs (graphs with no cycles) and multi-headed comets or rose graphs (graphs in which each head is connected to a cycle or to a collection of loops), or a mixture of these graphs (i.e., polycephaly graphs).     

A stinespring type representation for operators in hilbert modules over local C*-algebras

We prove an analog of the Stinespring theorem for Hilbert modules over local C*-algebras.     

Translation Invariant Asymptotic Homomorphisms and Extensions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras

Let A and B be C*-algebras, let A be separable, and let B be σ-unital and stable. We introduce the notion of translation invariance for asymptotic homomorphisms from S A = C₀(?) ? A to B and show that the Connes—Higson construction applied to any extension of A by B is homotopic to a translation invariant asymptotic homomorphism. In the other direction we give a construction which produces extensions of A by B from a translation invariant asymptotic homomorphism. This leads to our main result that the homotopy classes of extensions coincide with the homotopy classes of translation invariant asymptotic homomorphisms.     

On a Class of Graded Ideals of Semigroup <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras

We present general results about graded C*-algebras and continue the previously initiated research of the C*-algebra generated by the left regular representation of an abelian semigroup. We study the invariant ideals of this C*-algebra invariant with respect to the representation of a compact group G in the automorphism group of this algebra. We prove that the invariance of the ideal is equivalent to the fact that this ideal is graded C*-algebra, that there is a maximum of all invariant ideals, and it is the commutator ideal. Separately we study a class of graded primitive ideals generated by a single projector.
