Let G be an inductive limit of finite cyclic groups, and A be a unital simple projectionless C*-algebra with K1(A) ≅ G and a unique tracial state, as constructed based on dimension drop algebras by Jiang and Su. First, we show that any two aperiodic elements in Aut (A)/ WInn (A) are conjugate, where WInn (A) means the subgroup of Aut (A) consisting of automorphisms which are inner in the tracial representation.In the second part of this paper, we consider a class of unital simple C*-algebras with a unique tracial state which contains the class of unital simple A𝕋-algebras of real rank zero with a unique tracial state. This class is closed under inductive limits and crossed products by actions of ℤ with the Rohlin property. Let A be a TAF-algebra in this class. We show that for any automorphism α of A there exists an automorphism ᾶ of A with the Rohlin property such that ᾶ and α are asymptotically unitarily equivalent. For the proof we use an aperiodic automorphism of the Jiang-Su algebra.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].

An ATAI (or ATAF, respectively) algebra, introduced in [C. Jiang, A classification of non simple C*-algebras of tracial rank one: Inductive limit of finite direct sums of simple TAI C*-algebras, J. Topol. Anal. 3 (2011) 385–404] (or in [X. C. Fang, The classification of certain non-simple C*-algebras of tracial rank zero, J. Funct. Anal. 256 (2009) 3861–3891], respectively) is an inductive limit [Formula: see text], where each [Formula: see text] is a simple separable nuclear TAI (or TAF) C*-algebra with UCT property. In [C. Jiang, A classification of non simple C*-algebras of tracial rank one: Inductive limit of finite direct sums of simple TAI C*-algebras, J. Topol. Anal. 3 (2011) 385–404], the second author classified all ATAI algebras by an invariant consisting orderd total [Formula: see text]-theory and tracial state spaces of cut down algebras under an extra restriction that all element in [Formula: see text] are torsion. In this paper, we remove this restriction, and obtained the classification for all ATAI algebras with the Hausdorffized algebraic [Formula: see text]-group as an addition to the invariant used in [C. Jiang, A classification of non simple C*-algebras of tracial rank one: Inductive limit of finite direct sums of simple TAI C*-algebras, J. Topol. Anal. 3 (2011) 385–404]. The theorem is proved by reducing the class to the classification theorem of [Formula: see text] algebras with ideal property which is done in [G. Gong, C. Jiang and L. Li, A classification of inductive limit C*-algebras with ideal property, preprint (2016), arXiv:1607.07681]. Our theorem generalizes the main theorem of [X. C. Fang, The classification of certain non-simple C*-algebras of tracial rank zero, J. Funct. Anal. 256 (2009) 3861–3891], [C. Jiang, A classification of non simple C*-algebras of tracial rank one: Inductive limit of finite direct sums of simple TAI C*-algebras, J. Topol. Anal. 3 (2011) 385–404] (see Corollary 4.3).

AbstractLet A be a simple C*-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one and weakly unperforated K0(A) of countable rank. We show that a monomorphism Φ: C(S2) → A can be approximated pointwise by homomorphisms from C(S2) into A with finite dimensional range if and only if certain index vanishes. In particular,we show that every homomorphism ϕ from C(S2) into a UHF-algebra can be approximated pointwise by homomorphisms from C(S2) into the UHF-algebra with finite dimensional range.As an application, we show that if A is a simple C*-algebra of real rank zero and is an inductive limit of matrices over C(S2) then A is an AF-algebra. Similar results for tori are also obtained. Classification of Hom (C(X), A) for lower dimensional spaces is also studied.

In this paper, we consider the real rank zero [Formula: see text]-algebras which can be written as an inductive limit of the Elliott–Thomsen building blocks and prove a decomposition result for the connecting homomorphisms; this technique will be used in the classification theorem.

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.

Given a unital inductive limit of C*-algebras for which each C*-algebra of the inductive sequence comes equipped with a Rieffel compact quantum metric, we produce sufficient conditions to build a compact quantum metric on the inductive limit from the quantum metrics on the inductive sequence by utilizing the completeness of the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity of Latrémolière on compact quantum metric spaces. This allows us to place new quantum metrics on all unital approximately finite-dimensional (AF) algebras that extend our previous work with Latrémolière on unital AF algebras with faithful tracial state. As a consequence, we produce a continuous image of the entire Fell topology on the ideal space of any unital AF algebra in the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity topology.

We show that the multiplier algebra of a simple stable nuclear C*-algebra has a property similar to that of an AFD or hyperfinite von Neumann algebra. Specifically, we prove the following: Theorem 0.1. Let [Formula: see text] be a unital simple separable C*-algebra. Let [Formula: see text] be the multiplier algebra of the stabilization of [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] is nuclear if and only if [Formula: see text] has the AFD-type property. We also study a stronger property called the "strong AFD-type property". We show that if [Formula: see text] is a unital simple real rank zero AT-algebra with unique trace, then the multiplier algebra [Formula: see text] of the stabilization of [Formula: see text] has the strong AFD-type property, and we raise the question of whether this is true more generally.

Abstract We study the connection between the UCT problem and Cartan subalgebras in C*-algebras. The UCT problem asks whether every separable nuclear C*-algebra satisfies the UCT, i.e., a noncommutative analogue of the classical universal coefficient theorem from algebraic topology. This UCT problem is one of the remaining major open questions in the structure and classification theory of simple nuclear C*-algebras. Since the class of separable nuclear C*-algebras is closed under crossed products by finite groups, it is a natural and important task to understand the behaviour of the UCT under such crossed products. We make a contribution towards a better understanding by showing that for certain approximately inner actions of finite cyclic groups on UCT Kirchberg algebras, the crossed products satisfy the UCT if and only if we can find Cartan subalgebras which are invariant under the actions of our finite cyclic groups. We also show that the class of actions we are able to treat is big enough to characterize the UCT problem, in the sense that every such action (even on a particular Kirchberg algebra, namely the Cuntz algebra $$\mathcal O_2$$ O 2 ) leads to a crossed product satisfying the UCT if and only if every separable nuclear C*-algebra satisfies the UCT. Our results rely on a new construction of Cartan subalgebras in certain inductive limit C*-algebras. This new tool turns out to be of independent interest. For instance, among other things, the second author has used it to construct Cartan subalgebras in all classifiable unital stably finite C*-algebras.

Let Γ=ℤm * ℤn or ℤ * ℤn, and let Γ(h) be the subtree consisting of all reduced words starting with any reduced word h ∈ Γ\{e}. We prove that the C*-algebra [Formula: see text] generated by [Formula: see text] and the projection Ph onto the subspace ℓ2(Γ(h)) has a unique nontrivial closed ideal ℐ, ℐ is *-isomorphic to [Formula: see text], and the quotient algebra [Formula: see text] is *-isomorphic to either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] depending on the last letter of h. We also prove that [Formula: see text] is a purely infinite, simple C*-algebra if the last letter of h is a generator of ℤ, and that [Formula: see text] has a unique nontrivial closed ideal [Formula: see text] if the last letter of h is a generator of ℤn; furthermore, [Formula: see text] is *-isomorphic to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is again a purely infinite, simple C*-algebra. As consequences, all the C*-algebras above have real rank zero, and [Formula: see text] is nuclear for any h ≠ e.
