Real Rank and Topological Dimension of Higher Rank Graph Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We study dimension theory for the C∗-algebras of row-finite k-graphs with no sources. We establish that strong aperiodicity—the higher-rank analogue of condition (K)—for a k-graph is necessary and sufficient for the associated C∗-algebra to have topological dimension zero. We prove that a purely infinite 2-graph algebra has real-rank zero if and only if it has topological dimension zero and satisfies a homological condition that can be characterised in terms of the adjacency matrices of the 2-graph. We also show that a k-graph C∗-algebra with topological dimension zero is purely infinite if and only if all the vertex projections are properly infinite. We show by example that there are strongly purely infinite 2-graphs algebras, both with and without topological dimension zero, that fail to have real-rank zero.

On 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 کاملTopological spaces associated to higher-rank graphs
We investigate which topological spaces can be constructed as topological realisations of higher-rank graphs. We describe equivalence relations on higher-rank graphs for which the quotient is again a higher-rank graph, and show that identifying isomorphic co-hereditary subgraphs in a disjoint union of two rank-k graphs gives rise to pullbacks of the associated C∗algebras. We describe a combinat...
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...
متن کاملOn Higher Real and Stable Ranks for CCR C−algebras
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 genera...
متن کاملSemigroupoid C*-algebras
A semigroupoid is a set equipped with a partially defined associative operation. Given a semigroupoid Λ we construct a C*-algebra O(Λ) from it. We then present two main examples of semigroupoids, namely the Markov semigroupoid associated to an infinite 0–1 matrix, and the semigroupoid associated to a higher-rank graph. In both cases the semigroupoid C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to the a...
