The Ideal

We study homeomorphisms of a Cantor set with $k$ ( $k<+\infty$ ) minimal invariant closed (but not open) subsets; we also study crossed product C*-algebras associated to these Cantor systems and certain of their orbit-cut sub-C*-algebras. In the case where $k\geq 2$ , the crossed product C*-algebra is stably finite, has stable rank 2, and has real rank 0 if in addition $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$ is aperiodic. The image of the index map is connected to certain directed graphs arising from the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model of the Cantor system. Using this, it is shown that the ideal of the Bratteli diagram (of the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model) must have at least $k$ vertices at each level, and the image of the index map must consist of infinitesimals.

Unital Simple

Let X be a Cantor set, and let A be a unital separable simple amenable [Formula: see text]-stable C*-algebra with rationally tracial rank no more than one, which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT). We use C(X, A) to denote the algebra of all continuous functions from X to A. Let α be an automorphism on C(X, A). Suppose that C(X, A) is α-simple, [α|1⊗A] = [ id |1⊗A] in KL(1 ⊗ A, C(X, A)), τ(α(1 ⊗ a)) = τ(1 ⊗ a) for all τ ∈ T(C(X, A)) and all a ∈ A, and [Formula: see text] for all u ∈ U(A) (where α‡ and id‡ are homomorphisms from U(C(X, A))/CU(C(X, A)) → U(C(X, A))/CU(C(X, A)) induced by α and id, respectively, and where CU(C(X, A)) is the closure of the subgroup generated by commutators of the unitary group U(C(X, A)) of C(X, A)), then the corresponding crossed product C(X, A) ⋊α ℤ is a unital simple [Formula: see text]-stable C*-algebra with rationally tracial rank no more than one, which satisfies the UCT. Let X be a Cantor set and 𝕋 be the circle. Let γ : X × 𝕋n → X × 𝕋n be a minimal homeomorphism. It is proved that, as long as the cocycles are rotations, the tracial rank of the corresponding crossed product C*-algebra is always no more than one.

Morita Equivalent

Given a free action of a group $G$ on a directed graph $E$ we show that the crossed product of $C^* (E)$, the universal $C^*$-algebra of $E$, by the induced action is strongly Morita equivalent to $C^* (E/G)$. Since every connected graph $E$ may be expressed as the quotient of a tree $T$ by an action of a free group $G$ we may use our results to show that $C^* (E)$ is strongly Morita equivalent to the crossed product $C_0 ( \partial T ) \times G$, where $\partial T$ is a certain zero-dimensional space canonically associated to the tree.

The Relationship

We explore various constructions with ideals in a $C^*$-algebra $A$ in relation to the notions of real rank, stable rank and extremal richness. In particular we investigate the maximum ideals of low rank. And we investigate the relationship between existence of infinite or properly infinite projections in an extremally rich $C^*$-algebra and non-existence of ideals or quotients of stable rank one.

The Ideal

We study compact group actions with finite Rokhlin dimension, particularly in relation to crossed products. For example, we characterize the duals of such actions, generalizing previous partial results for the Rokhlin property. As an application, we determine the ideal structure of their crossed products. Under the assumption of so-called commuting towers, we show that taking crossed products by such actions preserves a number of relevant classes of $C^{\ast }$-algebras, including: $D$-absorbing $C^{\ast }$-algebras, where $D$ is a strongly self-absorbing $C^{\ast }$-algebra; stable $C^{\ast }$-algebras; $C^{\ast }$-algebras with finite nuclear dimension (or decomposition rank); $C^{\ast }$-algebras with finite stable rank (or real rank); and $C^{\ast }$-algebras whose $K$-theory is either trivial, rational, or $n$-divisible for $n\in \mathbb{N}$. The combination of nuclearity and the universal coefficient theorem (UCT) is also shown to be preserved by these actions. Some of these results are new even in the well-studied case of the Rokhlin property. Additionally, and under some technical assumptions, we show that finite Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers implies the (weak) tracial Rokhlin property. At the core of our arguments is a certain local approximation of the crossed product by a continuous $C(X)$-algebra with fibers that are stably isomorphic to the underlying algebra. The space $X$ is computed in some cases of interest, and we use its description to construct a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-action on a unital AF-algebra and on a unital Kirchberg algebra satisfying the UCT, whose Rokhlin dimensions with and without commuting towers are finite but do not agree.

Suppose that A is a C*-algebra for which [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the Jiang–Su algebra: a unital, simple, stably finite, separable, nuclear, infinite-dimensional C*-algebra with the same Elliott invariant as the complex numbers. We show that: (i) The Cuntz semigroup W(A) of equivalence classes of positive elements in matrix algebras over A is almost unperforated. (ii) If A is exact, then A is purely infinite if and only if A is traceless. (iii) If A is separable and nuclear, then [Formula: see text] if and only if A is traceless. (iv) If A is simple and unital, then the stable rank of A is one if and only if A is finite. We also characterize when A is of real rank zero.

The Riesz Decomposition Property

AbstractExamples are constructed of stably finite, imitai, separable C* -algebras A of real rank zero such that the partially ordered abelian groups K0(A) do not satisfy the Riesz decomposition property. This contrasts with the result of Zhang that projections in C* -algebras of real rank zero satisfy Riesz decomposition. The construction method also produces a stably finite, unital, separable C* -algebra of real rank zero which has the same K-theory as an approximately finite dimensional C*-algebra, but is not itself approximately finite dimensional.

Abstract We extend Matui’s notion of almost finiteness to general étale groupoids and show that the reduced groupoid C$^{\ast }$-algebras of minimal almost finite groupoids have stable rank 1. The proof follows a new strategy, which can be regarded as a local version of the large subalgebra argument. The following three are the main consequences of our result: (1) for any group of (local) subexponential growth and for any its minimal action admitting a totally disconnected free factor, the crossed product has stable rank 1; (2) any countable amenable group admits a minimal action on the Cantor set, all whose minimal extensions form the crossed product of stable rank 1; and (3) for any amenable group, the crossed product of the universal minimal action has stable rank 1.

Topological Stable Rank

When a unital C*-algebra A has topological stable rank one (write tsr (A) = 1), we know that tsr (pAp) = 1 for a non-zero projection p ∈ A. When, however, tsr (A) ≥ 2, it is generally false. We prove that if a unital C*-algebra A has a simple unital C*-subalgebra D of A with common unit such that D has Property (SP) and sup p ∈ P(D) tsr (pAp) < ∞, then tsr (A) ≤ 2. As an application let A be a simple unital C*-algebra with tsr (A) = 1 and Property (SP), [Formula: see text] finite groups, αk actions from Gk to Aut ((⋯((A × α1 G1) ×α2 G2)⋯) ×αk-1 Gk-1).

The Ideal

Topological quivers are generalizations of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Associated to such a topological quiver [Formula: see text] is a C*-correspondence, and from this correspondence one may construct a Cuntz–Pimsner algebra [Formula: see text]. In this paper we develop the general theory of topological quiver C*-algebras and show how certain C*-algebras found in the literature may be viewed from this general perspective. In particular, we show that C*-algebras of topological quivers generalize the well-studied class of graph C*-algebras and in analogy with that theory much of the operator algebra structure of [Formula: see text] can be determined from [Formula: see text]. We also show that many fundamental results from the theory of graph C*-algebras have natural analogues in the context of topological quivers (often with more involved proofs). These include the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem, the Cuntz–Krieger uniqueness theorem, descriptions of the ideal structure, and conditions for simplicity.

For each α ≥ 0, let Bα be the universal C*-algebra generated by unitary elements uα, vα and a self-adjoint hα such that ||hα|| ≤ α and [Formula: see text]. In this work we prove that the family {Bα}α ∈ [0,∞[ extend the family of soft torus with the same basic properties, i.e., the field of C*-algebras {Bα}α ∈ [0,α0] is continuous and each Bα is a crossed product of a C*-algebra homotopically equivalent to C(S1) by Z. We then show that the K-groups of Bα are isomorphic to Z ⊕ Z. Applying results from the theory of rotation algebras we prove that every positive element (n,m) in K0(Bα) satisfies |m|α ≤ 2πn. It follows that these C*-algebras are not all homotopically equivalent to each other, although they have the same K-groups.
