Recovering the Elliott Invariant from the Cuntz Semigroup
نویسنده
چکیده
Let A be a simple, separable C∗-algebra of stable rank one. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of C(T, A) is determined by its Murray-von Neumann semigroup of projections and a certain semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions (with values in the Cuntz semigroup of A). This result has two consequences. First, specializing to the case that A is simple, finite, separable and Z-stable, this yields a description of the Cuntz semigroup of C(T, A) in terms of the Elliott invariant of A. Second, suitably interpreted, it shows that the Elliott functor and the functor defined by the Cuntz semigroup of the tensor product with the algebra of continuous functions on the circle are naturally equivalent.

The Cuntz Semigroup of Continuous Functions into Certain Simple C∗-algebras
This paper contains computations of the Cuntz semigroup of separable C∗-algebras of the form C0(X, A), where A is a unital, simple, Z-stable ASH algebra. The computations describe the Cuntz semigroup in terms of Murray-von Neumann semigroups of C(K, A) for compact subsets K of X. In particular, the computation shows that the Elliott invariant is functorially equivalent to the invariant given by...

Building on work of Elliott and coworkers, we present three applications of the Cuntz semigroup: (i) for many simple C∗-algebras, the Thomsen semigroup is recovered functorially from the Elliott invariant, and this yields a new proof of Elliott’s classification theorem for simple, unital AI algebras; (ii) for the algebras in (i), classification of their Hilbert modules is similar to the von Neu...

We prove that the Cuntz semigroup is recovered functorially from the Elliott invariant for a large class of C∗-algebras. In particular, our results apply to the largest class of simple C∗-algebras for which K-theoretic classification can be hoped for. This work has three significant consequences. First, it provides new conceptual insight into Elliott’s classification program, proving that the u...

In this article we survey some of the recent goings-on in the classification programme of C-algebras, following the interesting link found between the Cuntz semigroup and the classical Elliott invariant and the fact that the Elliott conjecture does not hold at its boldest. We review the construction of this object both by means of positive elements and via its recent interpretation using counta...
