Recasting the Elliott Conjecture

Let A be a simple, unital, finite, and exact C-algebra which absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A admits a complete order embedding into an ordered semigroup which is obtained from the Elliott invariant in a functorial manner. We conjecture that this embedding is an isomorphism, and prove the conjecture in several cases. In these same cases — Z-stab...

Chris Elliott – Research Statement

One of the most central problems for 21st century mathematical physics is the question: “how can we mathematically formalize the notion of a non-perturbative quantum field theory?” Formulations of aspects of quantum field theory developed by mathematicians (e.g. [Seg88], [Ati88], [FLM89], [Lur09], [BD04]) have generated conceptual frameworks for problems in mathematics far removed from physics....
