On Higher Real and Stable Ranks for CCR C−algebras

چکیده
We calculate the real rank and stable rank of CCR algebras which either have only finite dimensional irreducible representations or have finite topological dimension. We show that either rank of A is determined in a good way by the ranks of an ideal I and the quotient A/I in four cases: When A is CCR; when I has only finite dimensional irreducible representations; when I is separable, of generalized continuous trace and finite topological dimension, and all irreducible representations of I are infinite dimensional; or when I is separable, stable, has an approximate identity consisting of projections, and has the corona factorization property. We also present a counterexample on higher ranks of M(A), A subhomogeneous, and a theorem of P. Green on generalized continuous trace algebras.

The bass and topological stable ranks for algebras of almost periodic functions on the real line
Let Λ be a sub-semigroup of the reals. We show that the Bass and topological stable ranks of the algebras APΛ = {f ∈ AP : σ(f) ⊆ Λ} of almost periodic functions on the real line and with Bohr spectrum in Λ are infinite whenever the algebraic dimension of the Q-vector space generated by Λ is infinite. This extends Suárez’s result for APR = AP. Also considered are general subalgebras of AP. Intro...
متن کاملOn the Stable Rank of Algebras of Operator Fields over an N-cube
Let A be a unital maximal full algebra of operator fields with base space [0, 1] and fibre algebras {At}t∈[0,1]k . We show that the stable rank of A is bounded above by the quantity supt∈[0,1]ksr(C([0, 1] )⊗ At). Here the symbol “sr” means stable rank. Using the above estimate, we compute the stable ranks of the C-algebras of the (possibly higher rank) discrete Heisenberg groups.

Let $A$ be a $C^{*}$ algebra, $T: Arightarrow A$ be a linear map which satisfies the functional equation $T(x)T(y)=T^{2}(xy),;;T(x^{*})=T(x)^{*} $. We prove that under each of the following conditions, $T$ must be the trivial map $T(x)=lambda x$ for some $lambda in mathbb{R}$: i) $A$ is a simple $C^{*}$-algebra. ii) $A$ is unital with trivial center and has a faithful trace such ...
متن کاملQuasicompact and Riesz unital endomorphisms of real Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued functions
We first show that a bounded linear operator $ T $ on a real Banach space $ E $ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively) if and only if $T': E_{mathbb{C}}longrightarrow E_{mathbb{C}}$ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively), where the complex Banach space $E_{mathbb{C}}$ is a suitable complexification of $E$ and $T'$ is the complex linear operator on $E_{mathbb{C}}$ associated with $T$. Next, we pr...
متن کاملAdditive maps on C$^*$-algebras commuting with $|.|^k$ on normal elements
Let $mathcal {A} $ and $mathcal {B} $ be C$^*$-algebras. Assume that $mathcal {A}$ is of real rank zero and unital with unit $I$ and $k>0$ is a real number. It is shown that if $Phi:mathcal{A} tomathcal{B}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $Phi(|A|^k)=|Phi(A)|^k $ for all normal elements $Ainmathcal A$, $Phi(I)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...
