On the Kk-theory of Strongly Self-absorbing C∗-algebras

چکیده
Let D and A be unital and separable C∗-algebras; let D be strongly selfabsorbing. It is known that any two unital ∗-homomorphisms from D to A ⊗ D are approximately unitarily equivalent. We show that, if D is also K1-injective, they are even asymptotically unitarily equivalent. This in particular implies that any unital endomorphism of D is asymptotically inner. Moreover, the space of automorphisms of D is compactly-contractible (in the point-norm topology) in the sense that for any compact Hausdorff space X, the set of homotopy classes [X,Aut (D)] reduces to a point. The respective statement holds for the space of unital endomorphisms of D. As an application, we give a description of the Kasparov group KK(D, A⊗D) in terms of ∗-homomorphisms and asymptotic unitary equivalence. Along the way, we show that the Kasparov group KK(D, A⊗D) is isomorphic to K0(A⊗D).

The relative commutant A∩A of a strongly self-absorbing algebra A is indistinguishable from its ultrapower A . This applies both to the case when A is the hyperfinite II1 factor and to the case when it is a strongly self-absorbing C-algebra. In the latter case we prove analogous results for l∞(A)/c0(A) and reduced powers corresponding to other filters on N. Examples of algebras with approximate...

متن کاملTrivialization of C(x)-algebras with Strongly Self-absorbing Fibres
Suppose A is a separable unital C(X)-algebra each fibre of which is isomorphic to the same strongly self-absorbing and K1-injective C∗-algebra D. We show that A and C(X) ⊗ D are isomorphic as C(X)-algebras provided the compact Hausdorff space X is finite-dimensional. This statement is known not to extend to the infinite-dimensional case.

This note provides some technical support to the proof of a result of W. Winter which shows that two unital separable simple amenable Z-absorbing C∗-algebras with locally finite decomposition property satisfying the UCT whose projections separate the traces are isomorphic if their K-theory is finitely generated and their Elliott invariants are the same.
متن کاملStrongly Self-absorbing C * -algebras
Say that a separable, unital C *-algebra D ≇ C is strongly self-absorbing if there exists an isomorphism ϕ : D → D ⊗ D such that ϕ and id D ⊗ 1 D are approximately unitarily equivalent *-homomorphisms. We study this class of algebras, which includes the Cuntz algebras O 2 , O∞, the UHF algebras of infinite type, the Jiang–Su algebra Z and tensor products of O∞ with UHF algebras of infinite type...
