Strong Morita Equivalence

In [14] we began a study of C*-algebras corresponding to projective representations of the discrete Heisenberg group, and classified these C*-algebras up to *-isomorphism. In this sequel to [14] we continue the study of these so-called Heisenberg C*-algebras, first concentrating our study on the strong Morita equivalence classes of these C*-algebras. We recall from [14] that a Heisenberg C*-algebra is said to be of class i, i ∊ {1, 2, 3}, if the range of any normalized trace on its K 0 group has rank i as a subgroup of R; results of Curto, Muhly, and Williams [7] on strong Morita equivalence for crossed products along with the methods of [21] and [14] enable us to construct certain strong Morita equivalence bimodules for Heisenberg C*-algebras.

Strong Morita Equivalence

We consider two twisted actions of a countable discrete group on $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebras. Then by taking the reduced crossed products, we get two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras. We suppose that they are strongly Morita equivalent as inclusions of $C^*$-algebras. Also, we suppose that one of the inclusions of $C^*$-algebras is irreducible, that is, the relative commutant of one of the $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra in the multiplier $C^*$-algebra of the reduced twisted crossed product is trivial. We show that the two actions are then strongly Morita equivalent up to some automorphism of the group.

The Stability

AbstractLet A and B be arbitrary C*-algebras, we prove that the existence of a Hilbert A–B-bimodule of finite index ensures that the WEP, QWEP, and LLP along with other finite-dimensional approximation properties such as CBAP and (S)OAP are shared by A and B. For this, we first study the stability of the WEP, QWEP, and LLP under Morita equivalence of C*-algebras. We present examples of Hilbert A–B-bimodules, which are not of finite index, while such properties are shared between A and B. To this end, we study twisted crossed products by amenable discrete groups.

Prime 2

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.
