We give a class of nuclear C*-algebras which contains [Formula: see text] and is closed under stable isomorphism, ideals, quotients, hereditary subalgebras, tensor products, direct sums, direct limits as well as extensions. We show that this class of C*-algebras is classified by their equivalence classes of projections and there is a one to one correspondence between (unital) C*-algebras in the class and countable distributive semilattices (with largest elements). One of the main results is that essential extensions of a C*-algebras which is a direct limit of finite direct sums of corners of [Formula: see text] by the same type of C*-algebras are still direct limits of finite direct sums of corners of [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe prove the following result. Let A be a direct limit of direct sums of C*-algebras of the form C(X) ⊗ Mn, with the spaces X being compact metric. Suppose that there is a finite upper bound on the dimensions of the spaces involved, and suppose that A is simple. Then the C* exponential rank of A is at most 1 + ε, that is, every element of the identity component of the unitary group of A is a limit of exponentials. This is true regardless of whether the real rank of A is 0 or 1.

We determine, in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the homotopy groups of certain groups of invertibles and of certain equivalence classes in the infinite Grassmann space on a Hilbert C*-[Formula: see text]-module. These results provide various interpretations of [Formula: see text].

A real AF C*-algebra is the norm closure of a direct limit of finite dimensional real C*-algebras (with real *-algebra maps). When we use the unadorned “AF C*-algebra”, we mean the usual complex version.Let R be a simple AF C*-algebra such that K0(R) is free of rank 2 or 3. The problem is to find (up to Morita equivalence) all real AF C*-algebras A such that AꕕC≅R. This is closely related to the problem of finding all involutions on R [3], [10].For example, when the rank is 2, generically there are 8 such classes. The exceptional cases arise when the ratio of the two generators in K0(R) is a quadratic (algebraic) number, and here there are 4, 5, or 8 Morita equivalence classes, the number depending largely on the behaviour of the prime 2 in the relevant algebraic number field.

AbstractLet A be an amenable separable C*-algebra and B be a non-unital but σ-unital simple C*- algebra with continuous scale. We show that two essential extensions τ1 and τ2 of A by B are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only ifIf A is assumed to satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem, there is a bijection fromapproximate unitary equivalence classes of the abovementioned extensions to KL(A,M(B)/B). Using KL(A,M(B)/B), we compute exactly when an essential extension is quasidiagonal. We show that quasidiagonal extensions may not be approximately trivial. We also study the approximately trivial extensions.

The present paper follows the computational approach to 3-manifold classification via edge-colored graphs, already performed in [1] (with respect to orientable 3-manifolds up to 28 colored tetrahedra), in [2] (with respect to non-orientable 3-manifolds up to 26 colored tetrahedra), in [3] and [4] (with respect to genus two 3-manifolds up to 34 colored tetrahedra): in fact, by automatic generation and analysis of suitable edge-colored graphs, called crystallizations, we obtain a catalogue of all orientable 3-manifolds admitting colored triangulations with 30 tetrahedra. These manifolds are unambiguously identified via JSJ decompositions and fibering structures. It is worth noting that, in the present work, a suitable use of elementary combinatorial moves yields an automatic partition of the elements of the generated crystallization catalogue into equivalence classes, which turn out to be in one-to-one correspondence with the homeomorphism classes of the represented manifolds.
