Topological stable rank of nest algebras

چکیده
We establish a general result about extending a right invertible row over a Banach algebra to an invertible matrix. This is applied to the computation of right topological stable rank of a split exact sequence. We also introduce a quantitative measure of stable rank. These results are applied to compute the right (left) topological stable rank for all nest algebras. This value is either 2 or infinity, and rtsr(T (N )) = 2 occurs only when N is of ordinal type less than ω and the dimensions of the atoms grows sufficiently quickly. We introduce general results on ‘partial matrix algebras’ over a Banach algebra. This is used to obtain an inequality akin to Rieffel’s formula for matrix algebras over a Banach algebra. This is used to give further insight into the nest case.

On the Topological Stable Rank of Non-selfadjoint Operator Algebras
We provide a negative solution to a question of M. Rieffel who asked if the right and left topological stable ranks of a Banach algebra must always agree. Our example is found amongst a class of nest algebras. We show that for many other nest algebras, both the left and right topological stable ranks are infinite. We extend this latter result to Popescu’s non-commutative disc algebras and to fr...
متن کاملTopological Stable Rank of Inclusions of Unital C*-algebras
Let 1 ∈ A ⊂ B be an inclusion of C*-algebras of C*-index-finite type with depth 2. We try to compute topological stable rank of B (= tsr(B)) when A has topological stable rank one. We show that tsr(B) ≤ 2 when A is a tsr boundedly divisible algebra, in particular, A is a C*-minimal tensor product UHF ⊗ D with tsr(D) = 1. When G is a finite group and α is an action of G on UHF, we know that a cr...
متن کاملOn the Classification of Simple Z-stable C-algebras with Real Rank Zero and Finite Decomposition Rank
We show that, if A is a separable simple unital C-algebra which absorbs the Jiang–Su algebra Z tensorially and which has real rank zero and finite decomposition rank, then A is tracially AF in the sense of Lin, without any restriction on the tracial state space. As a consequence, the Elliott conjecture is true for the class of C-algebras as above which, additionally, satisfy the Universal Coeff...
متن کاملOn the boundedness of almost multipliers on certain Banach algebras
Almost multiplier is rather a new concept in the theory of almost functions. In this paper we discussion the boundedness of almost multipliers on some special Banach algebras, namely stable algebras. We also define an adjoint and extension for almost multiplier.
متن کاملCovering Dimension for Nuclear C * -algebras
We introduce the completely positive rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C *-algebras and analyze some of its properties. The completely positive rank behaves nicely with respect to direct sums, quotients, ideals and inductive limits. For abelian C *-algebras it coincides with covering dimension of the spectrum and there are similar results for continuous trace algebras. As it turn...
