چکیده
For a row finite directed graph E, Kumjian, Pask, and Rae-burn proved that there exists a universal C *-algebra C * (E) generated by a Cuntz-Krieger E-family. In this paper we consider two density problems of invertible elements in graph C *-algebras C * (E), and it is proved that C * (E) has stable rank one, that is, the set of all invertible elements is dense in C * (E) (or in its unitization when C * (E) is nonunital) if and only if no loop of E has an exit. We also prove that for a locally finite directed graph E with no sinks if the graph C *-algebra C * (E) has real rank zero (RR(C * (E)) = 0), that is, the set of invertible self-adjoint elements is dense in the set of all self-adjoint elements of C * (E) then E satisfies a condition (K) on loop structure of a graph, and that the converse is also true for C * (E) with finitely many ideals. In particular, for a Cuntz-Krieger algebra O A , RR(O A) = 0 if and only if A satisfies Cuntz's condition (II).

A note on lifting projections
Suppose $pi:mathcal{A}rightarrow mathcal{B}$ is a surjective unital $ast$-homomorphism between C*-algebras $mathcal{A}$ and $mathcal{B}$, and $0leq aleq1$ with $ain mathcal{A}$. We give a sufficient condition that ensures there is a proection $pin mathcal{A}$ such that $pi left( pright) =pi left( aright) $. An easy consequence is a result of [L. G. Brown and G. k. Pedersen, C*-algebras of real...

It is shown that every almost linear bijection $h : Arightarrow B$ of a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ onto a unital$C^*$-algebra $B$ is a $C^*$-algebra isomorphism when $h(3^n u y) = h(3^n u) h(y)$ for allunitaries $u in A$, all $y in A$, and all $nin mathbb Z$, andthat almost linear continuous bijection $h : A rightarrow B$ of aunital $C^*$-algebra $A$ of real rank zero onto a unital$C^*$-algebra...
متن کاملFurstenberg Transformations on Irrational Rotation Algebras
We introduce a general class of automorphisms of rotation algebras, the noncommutative Furstenberg transformations. We prove that fully irrational noncommutative Furstenberg transformations have the tracial Rokhlin property, which is a strong form of outerness. We conclude that crossed products by these automorphisms have stable rank one, real rank zero, and order on projections determined by t...
متن کاملRank-two Graphs Whose C∗-algebras Are Direct Limits of Circle Algebras
We describe a class of rank-2 graphs whose C∗-algebras are AT algebras. For a subclass which we call rank-2 Bratteli diagrams, we compute the K-theory of the C∗-algebra. We identify rank-2 Bratteli diagrams whose C∗-algebras are simple and have real-rank zero, and characterise the K-invariants achieved by such algebras. We give examples of rank-2 Bratteli diagrams whose C∗-algebras contain as f...
متن کاملFlat Dimension Growth for C-algebras
Simple and nuclear C-algebras which fail to absorb the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially have settled many open questions in the theory of nuclear C-algebras, but have been little studied in their own right. This is due partly to a dearth of invariants sensitive to differences between such algebras. We present two new real-valued invariants to fill this void: the dimension-rank ratio (for unital AH ...
