Let $0\to \mathcal J\to \mathcal A\to \mathcal A / \mathcal J\to 0$ be a short exact sequence of separable $C^*$-algebras. We introduce the notion of tracially quasidiagonal extension. Suppose that $\mathcal J$ and $\mathcal A/J$ have tracial topological rank zero. We prove that if $(\mathcal A, \mathcal J)$ is tracially quasidiagonal, then $\mathcal A$ has tracial topological rank zero.

AbstractIt is known that a unital simple C*-algebra A with tracial topological rank zero has real rank zero. We show in this note that, in general, there are unital C*-algebras with tracial topological rank zero that have real rank other than zero.Let 0 → J → E → A → 0 be a short exact sequence of C*-algebras. Suppose that J and A have tracial topological rank zero. It is known that E has tracial topological rank zero as a C*-algebra if and only if E is tracially quasidiagonal as an extension. We present an example of a tracially quasidiagonal extension which is not quasidiagonal.

AbstractWe introduce the notion of tracial equivalence for $C^*$-algebras. Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital separable $C^*$-algebras. If they are tracially equivalent, then there are two sequences of asymptotically multiplicative contractive completely positive linear maps $\phi_n:A\to B$ and $\psi_n:B\to A$ with a tracial condition such that $\{\phi_n\circ\psi_n\}$ and $\{\psi_n\circ\phi_n\}$ are tracially approximately inner. Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital separable simple $C^*$-algebras with tracial topological rank zero. It is proved that $A$ and $B$ are tracially equivalent if and only if $A$ and $B$ have order isomorphic ranges of tracial states. For the Cantor minimal systems $(X_1,\sigma_1)$ and $(X_2,\sigma_2)$, using a result of Giordano, Putnam and Skau, we show that two such dynamical systems are (topological) orbit equivalent if and only if the associated crossed products $C(X_1)\times_{\sigma_1}\mathbb{Z}$ and $C(X_2)\times_{\sigma_2}\mathbb{Z}$ are tracially equivalent.

Suppose that A is a separable C*-algebra and that G* is a (graded) subgroup of the ℤ/2-graded group K*(A). Then there is a natural short exact sequence [Formula: see text] In this note we demonstrate how to geometrically realize this sequence at the level of C*-algebras. We KK-theoretically decompose A as [Formula: see text] where K*(At) is the torsion subgroup of K*(A) and K*(Af) is its torsionfree quotient. Then we further decompose At: it is KK-equivalent to ⊕p Ap where K*(Ap) is the p-primary subgroup of the torsion subgroup of K*(A). We then apply this realization to study the Kasparov group K*(A) and related objects.

AbstractFor C*-algebras of real rank zero, we describe linear maps ϕ on that are surjective up to ideals , and π(A) is invertible in if and only if π(ϕ(A)) is invertible in , where A ∈ and π : → is the quotient map. We also consider similar linear maps preserving zero products on the Calkin algebra.
