Reduction of Topological Stable Rank in Inductive Limits of C*-algebras

چکیده
We consider inductive limits A of sequences A\ —> Ai —» of finite direct sums of C*-algebras of continuous functions from compact Hausdorff spaces into full matrix algebras. We prove that A has topological stable rank (tsr) one provided that A is simple and the sequence of the dimensions of the spectra of Aι is bounded. For unital A, tsr (̂ 4) = 1 means that the set of invertible elements is dense in A. If A is infinite dimensional, then the simplicity of A implies that the sizes of the involved matrices tend to infinity, so by general arguments one gets tsτ(Ai) < 2 for large enough / whence tsτ(A) < 2. The reduction of tsr from two to one requires arguments which are strongly related to this special class of C* -algebras.

Covering 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 کاملExtensions of C∗-algebras and Quasidiagonality
Using extension theory and recent results of Elliott and Gong we exhibit new classes of nuclear stably finite C∗-algebras , which have real rank zero and stable rank one, and are classified by K-theoretical data. Various concepts of quasidiagonality are employed to show that these C*-algebras are not inductive limits of (sub)homogeneous C∗-algebras.
متن کاملClassification of simple C * - algebras and higher dimensional noncommutative tori
We show that unital simple C-algebras with tracial topological rank zero which are locally approximated by subhomogeneous C-algebras can be classified by their ordered K-theory. We apply this classification result to show that certain simple crossed products are isomorphic if they have the same ordered K-theory. In particular, irrational higher dimensional noncommutative tori of the form C(T)×θ...
متن کاملA Class of Simple C-algebras with Stable Rank One
Abstract. We study the limits of inductive sequences (Ai, φi) where each Ai is a direct sum of full matrix algebras over compact metric spaces and each partial map of φi is diagonal. We give a new characterisation of simplicity for such algebras, and apply it to prove that the said algebras have stable rank one whenever they are simple and unital. Significantly, our results do not require any d...
متن کاملOn the Classification of Simple Approximately Subhomogeneous C*-algebras Not Necessarily of Real Rank Zero
A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely the class of simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have their spectrum homeomorphic to the interval [0, 1] or to a finite disjoint union of closed intervals. In particular, a classification of those stably AI algebras which ar...
