This paper contains computations of the Cuntz semigroup of separable C*-algebras of the form C0(X, A), where A is a unital, simple, [Formula: see text]-stable ASH algebra. The computations describe the Cuntz semigroup in terms of Murray–von Neumann semigroups of C(K, A) for compact subsets K of X. In particular, the computation shows that the Elliott invariant is functorially equivalent to the invariant given by the Cuntz semigroup of C(𝕋, A). These results are a contribution towards the goal of using the Cuntz semigroup in the classification of well-behaved non-simple C*-algebras.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be an infinite compact metric space with finite covering dimension, let [Formula: see text] be a unital separable simple AH-algebra with no dimension growth, and denote by [Formula: see text] the [Formula: see text]-algebra of all continuous functions from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] Suppose that [Formula: see text] is a minimal group action and the induced [Formula: see text]-action on [Formula: see text] is free. Under certain conditions, we show the crossed product [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text] has rational tracial rank zero and hence is classified by its Elliott invariant. Next, we show the following: Let [Formula: see text] be a Cantor set, let [Formula: see text] be a stably finite unital separable simple [Formula: see text]-algebra which is rationally TA[Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a class of separable unital [Formula: see text]-algebras which is closed under tensoring with finite dimensional [Formula: see text]-algebras and closed under taking unital hereditary sub-[Formula: see text]-algebras, and let [Formula: see text]. Under certain conditions, we conclude that [Formula: see text] is rationally TA[Formula: see text] Finally, we classify the crossed products of certain unital simple [Formula: see text]-algebras by using the crossed products of [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe examine the ranks of operators in semi-finite C*-algebras as measured by their densely defined lower semicontinuous traces. We first prove that a unital simple C*-algebra whose extreme tracial boundary is nonempty and finite contains positive operators of every possible rank, independent of the property of strict comparison. We then turn to nonunital simple algebras and establish criteria that imply that the Cuntz semigroup is recovered functorially from the Murray–von Neumann semigroup and the space of densely defined lower semicontinuous traces. Finally, we prove that these criteria are satisfied by not-necessarily-unital approximately subhomogeneous algebras of slow dimension growth. Combined with results of the first author, this shows that slow dimension growth coincides with Z-stability for approximately subhomogeneous algebras.

Unital Simple

A unital C*-algebra is said to satisfy the Dixmier property if for each element x in the closed convex hull of all elements of the form u*xu, u being a unitary in , intersects the centre of ((2), 2·7). The von Neumann algebras and also some other classes of C*-algebras are known to satisfy the Dixmier property (cf. (2), (3), (4), (6)). If is a simple C*-algebra which satisfies the Dixmier property then has at most one tracial state. In (3) Archbold raised the question whether there exists a unital simple C*-algebra which has at most one tracial state without satisfying the Dixmier property. In the present note we characterize the unital simple C*-algebras with at most one tracial state in terms of a condition which is similar to the Dixmier property, but is in fact formally weaker in the framework of simple C*-algebras. This characterization relies on the method used by Pedersen in (5) in order to show that for a unital simple C*-algebra which has at most one tracial state and at least one non-trivial projection the linear span of all projections in is dense in As an application we characterize those unital simple C*-algebras with a unique tracial state which satisfy the Dixmier property.

Let [Formula: see text] be the class of all unital separable simple [Formula: see text]-algebras [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] has tracial rank no more than one for all UHF-algebra [Formula: see text] of infinite type. It has been shown that all amenable [Formula: see text]-stable [Formula: see text]-algebras in [Formula: see text] which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem can be classified up to isomorphism by the Elliott invariant. In this note, we show that [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] has tracial rank no more than one for some unital simple infinite dimensional AF-algebra [Formula: see text] In fact, we show that [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] for some unital simple AH-algebra [Formula: see text] We actually prove a more general result. Other results regarding the tensor products of [Formula: see text]-algebras in [Formula: see text] are also obtained.

In this paper, we will classify the class of C*-algebras which are inductive limits of finite direct sums of unital simple separable nuclear C*-algebras with tracial rank no more than one (or equivalently TAI algebras) with torsion K1-group which satisfy the UCT. The invariant consists of ordered total K-theory and the tracial state spaces of cutdown algebras (with certain compatibility conditions).

AbstractWe study a canonical C* -algebra, 𝒮(Г,μ), that arises from a weighted graph (Г,μ), speci fic cases of which were previously studied in the context of planar algebras. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions of the weighting that ensure simplicity and uniqueness of trace of 𝒮(Г,μ), and study the structure of its positive cone. We then study the *-algebra,𝒜, generated by the generators of 𝒮(Г,μ), and use a free differential calculus and techniques of Charlesworth and Shlyakhtenko as well as Mai, Speicher, and Weber to show that certain “loop” elements have no atoms in their spectral measure. After modifying techniques of Shlyakhtenko and Skoufranis to show that self adjoint elements x ∊ Mn(𝒜) have algebraic Cauchy transform, we explore some applications to eigenvalues of polynomials inWishart matrices and to diagrammatic elements in von Neumann algebras initially considered by Guionnet, Jones, and Shlyakhtenko.
