Let $A$ be a unital simple AH-algebra with stable rank one and real rank zero such that $kx=0$ for all $x\in\operatorname{ker}\rho_A$, the subgroup of infinitesmal elements in $K_0(A)$, and for the same integer $k\ge 1$. We show that $A$ has tracial rank zero and is isomorphic to a unital simple AH-algebra with no dimension growth.

AbstractWe give a description of the monoid of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections for multiplier algebras of a wide class of σ-unital simple C*-algebras A with real rank zero and stable rank one. The lattice of ideals of this monoid, which is known to be crucial for understanding the ideal structure of themultiplier algebra , is therefore analyzed. In important cases it is shown that, if A has finite scale then the quotient of modulo any closed ideal I that properly contains A has stable rank one. The intricacy of the ideal structure of is reflected in the fact that can have uncountably many different quotients, each one having uncountably many closed ideals forming a chain with respect to inclusion.

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.

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.

AbstractMain result: If a C*-algebrais simple,σ-unital, hasfinitely many extremal traces, and has strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then its multiplier algebraalso has strict comparison of positive elements by traces. The same results holds if finitely many extremal traces is replaced byquasicontinuous scale. A key ingredient in the proof is that every positive element in the multiplier algebra of an arbitrary σ-unital C* -algebra can be approximated by a bi-diagonal series. As an application of strict comparison, ifis a simple separable stable C* -algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one, and strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then whether a positive element is a positive linear combination of projections is determined by the trace values of its range projection.

We consider AF flows, i.e. one-parameter automorphism groups of a unital simple AF C*-algebra which leave invariant the dense union of an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional *-subalgebras, and derive two properties for these; an absence of continuous symmetry breaking and a kind of real rank zero property for the almost fixed points.

AbstractLet A be a unital simple $A\mathbb {T}$-algebra of real rank zero. Given an isomorphismγ1:K1(A)→K1(A), we show that there is an automorphism α:A→A such that α*1=γ1 and α has the tracial Rokhlin property. Consequently, the crossed product $A\rtimes _{\alpha }\mathbb {Z}$ is a simple unital AH-algebra with real rank zero. We also show that automorphisms with the Rokhlin property can be constructed from minimal homeomorphisms on a connected compact metric space.

In this paper we give a representation theorem for the Cuntz monoid S(A) of a σ-unital C*-algebra A with real rank zero and stable rank one, which allows to prove several Riesz decomposition properties on the monoid. As a consequence, it is proved that the comparability conditions (FCQ), stable (FCQ) and (FCQ+) are equivalent for simple C*-algebras with real rank zero. It is also shown that the Grothendieck group [Formula: see text] of S(A) is a Riesz group, and lattice-ordered under some additional assumptions on A.

AbstractIn this paper, we characterize the closures of convex hulls of unitary orbits of self-adjoint operators in unital, separable, simple C* -algebras with non-trivial tracial simplex, real rank zero, stable rank one, and strict comparison of projections with respect to tracial states. In addition, an upper bound for the number of unitary conjugates in a convex combination needed to approximate a self-adjoint are obtained.
