The Tracial Topological Rank of C*-Algebras

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 PM_n(C(X))P,where X is a compact metric space with dim X k, and P is aprojection in M_n(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

Stable Rank One and Real Rank Zero for Crossed Products by Finite Group Actions with the Tracial Rokhlin Property

The authors prove that the crossed product of an infinite dimensional simple separable unital C＊-algebra with stable rank one by an action of a finite group with the tracial Rokhlin property has again stable rank one. It is also proved that the crossed product of an infinite dimensional simple separable unital C＊-algebra with real rank zero by an action of a finite group with the tracial Rokhlin property has again real rank zero.

Simple C*-Algebras with Unique Tracial States and Quantized Topological Spaces

Let X be a connected finite CW complex and d _X : K ₀(C(X)) →ℤ be the dimension function. We show that, if A is a unital separable simple nuclear C*-algebra of TR(A) = 0 with the unique tracial state and satisfying the UCT such that K ₀(A) = ℚ⊕ kerd _x and K ₁(A) = K ₁(C(X)), then A is isomorphic to an inductive limit of M _{n !}(C(X)).

Compressing Coefficients While Preserving Ideals in K-Theory for C*-Algebras

An invariant based on orderedK-theory with coefficients in _n>1 /n and an infinite number of natural transformations has proved to be necessary and sufficient to classify a large class of nonsimple C* -algebras. In this paper, we expose and explain the relations between the order structure and the ideals of the C* -algebras in question.As an application, we give a new complete invariant for a large class of approximately subhomogeneous C*-algebras. The invariant is based on ordered K-theory with coefficients in /. This invariant is more compact (hence, easier to compute) than the invariant mentioned above, and its use requires computation of only four natural transformations.

Decomposition Rank of Subhomogeneous C*-Algebras

We analyze the decomposition rank (a notion of covering dimensionfor nuclear C*-algebras introduced by E. Kirchberg and the author)of subhomogeneous C*-algebras. In particular, we show that asubhomogeneous C*-algebra has decomposition rank n if and onlyif it is recursive subhomogeneous of topological dimension n,and that n is determined by the primitive ideal space. As an application, we use recent results of Q. Lin and N. C.Phillips to show the following. Let A be the crossed productC*-algebra coming from a compact smooth manifold and a minimaldiffeomorphism. Then the decomposition rank of A is dominatedby the covering dimension of the underlying manifold. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 46L85, 46L35.

Continuous fields of C*-algebras over finite dimensional spaces

Let X be a finite dimensional compact metrizable space. We study a technique which employs semiprojectivity as a tool to produce approximations of C(X)-algebras by C(X)-subalgebras with controlled complexity. The following applications are given. All unital separable continuous fields of C*-algebras over X with fibers isomorphic to a fixed Cuntz algebra On, n∈{2,3,…,∞}, are locally trivial. They are trivial if n=2 or n=∞. For n?3 finite, such a field is trivial if and only if (n−1)[A₁]=0 in K₀(A), where A is the C*-algebra of continuous sections of the field. We give a complete list of the Kirchberg algebras D satisfying the UCT and having finitely generated K-theory groups for which every unital separable continuous field over X with fibers isomorphic to D is automatically locally trivial or trivial. In a more general context, we show that a separable unital continuous field over X with fibers isomorphic to a KK-semiprojective Kirchberg C*-algebra is trivial if and only if it satisfies a K-theoretical Fell type condition.

Real C*-Algebras, United KK-Theory, and the Universal Coefficient Theorem

We define united KK-theory for real C*-algebras A and B such that A is separable and B is -unital, extending united K-theory in the sense that KK^CRT( , B) = K^CRT(B). United KK-theory combines real, complex, and self-conjugate KK-theory; but unlike unaugmented KK-theory for real C*-algebras, it admits a Universal Coefficient Theorem. For all separable A and B in which the complexification of A is in the bootstrap category, KK^CRT(A,B) appears as the middle term of a short exact sequence whose outer terms involve the united K-theory of A and B. As a corollary, we prove that united K-theory classifies KK-equivalence for real C*-algebras whose complexification is in the bootstrap category.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 19K35, 46L80.

A Perturbation of Jensen *-Derivations from K(H) into K(H)

Let's take H as an infinite–dimensional Hilbert space and K( H) be the set of all compact operators on H. Using Spectral theorem for compact self–adjoint operators, we prove the Hyers–Ulam stability of Jensen *-derivations from K( H) into K( H).     

Linear rank and corank preserving maps on (H) and an application to *-semigroup isomorphisms of operator ideals

We characterize linear rank-k nonincreasing, rank-k preserving, and corank-k preserving maps on B(H), the algebra of all bounded linear operators on the Hilbert space H. This unifies and extends finite-dimensional results and results on linear rank-1 non-increasing and rank-1 preserving maps in the infinite-dimensional case. We conclude with an application to *-semigroup isomorphisms of operator ideals.
