Covering dimension and quasidiagonality

Eberhard Kirchberg, Wilhelm Winter

英文摘要：

We introduce the decomposition rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C^*-algebras. The decomposition rank generalizes ordinary covering dimension and has nice permanence properties; in particular, it behaves well with respect to direct sums, quotients, inductive limits, unitization and quasidiagonal extensions. Moreover, it passes to hereditary subalgebras and is invariant under stabilization. It turns out that the decomposition rank can be finite only for strongly quasidiagonal C^*-algebras and that it is closely related to the classification program.

Quasidiagonality of nuclear C*-algebras

We prove that faithful traces on separable and nuclear C*-algebras in the UCT class are quasidiagonal. This has a number of consequences. Firstly, by results of many hands, the classification of unital, separable, simple and nuclear C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension which satisfy the UCT is now complete. Secondly, our result links the finite to the general version of the Toms-Winter conjecture in the expected way and hence clarifies the relation between decomposition rank and nuclear dimension. Finally, we confirm the Rosenberg conjecture: discrete, amenable groups have quasidiagonal C*-…

The nuclear dimension of $\mathcal O_\infty$-stable $C^*$-algebras

We show that every nuclear $\mathcal O_\infty$-stable *-homomorphism with a separable exact domain has nuclear dimension at most 1. In particular separable, nuclear, $\mathcal O_\infty$-stable C*-algebras have nuclear dimension 1. We also characterise when $\mathcal O_\infty$-stable C*-algebras have finite decomposition rank in terms of quasidiagonality and primitive-ideal structure, and determine when full $\mathcal O_2$-stable *-homomorphisms have nuclear dimension 0.

Quasidiagonal $C^\ast$-algebras and Nonstandard Analysis

Suppose B is an ultraproduct of finite dimensional C^\ast-algebras. We consider mapping and injectability properties for separable C^\ast-algebras into B. In the case of approximately finite C^\ast-algebras, we obtain a classification of these mappings up to inner conjugacy. Using a Theorem of Voiculescu, we show that for nuclear C^\ast-algebras injectability into an ultraproduct of finite dimensional C^\ast-algebras is equivalent to quasidiagonality.

Low dimensional properties of uniform Roe algebras

The goal of this paper is to study when uniform Roe algebras have certain $C^*$-algebraic properties in terms of the underlying space: in particular, we study properties like having stable rank one or real rank zero that are thought of as low dimensional, and connect these to low dimensionality of the underlying space in the sense of the asymptotic dimension of Gromov. Some of these results (for example, on stable rank one, cancellation, strong quasidiagonality, and finite decomposition rank) give definitive characterizations, while others (on real rank zero) are only partial and leave a lot o…

Covering dimension of Cuntz semigroups

We introduce a notion of covering dimension for Cuntz semigroups of C*-algebras. This dimension is always bounded by the nuclear dimension of the C*-algebra, and for subhomogeneous C*-algebras both dimensions agree. Cuntz semigroups of Z-stable C*-algebras have dimension at most one. Further, the Cuntz semigroup of a simple, Z-stable C*-algebra is zero-dimensional if and only if the C*-algebra has real rank zero or is stably projectionless.

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 turns out, a $C^*$-algebra is zero-dimensional precisely if it is $AF$. We consider various examples, particularly of one-dimensional $C^*$-algebras, like the irrational rotation algebras, the Bunce-Dedd…

Covering Dimension for Nuclear C*-Algebras II

The completely positive rank is an analogue of topological covering dimension, defined for nuclear C*-algebras via completely positive approximations. These may be thought of as simplicial approximations of the algebra, which leads to the concept of piecewise homogeneous maps and a notion of noncommutative simplicial complexes. We introduce a technical variation of the completely positive rank and show that the two theories coincide in many important cases. Furthermore we analyze some of their properties; in particular we show that both theories behave nicely with respect to ideals and that th…

Covering dimension of Cuntz semigroups II

We show that the dimension of the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra is determined by the dimensions of the Cuntz semigroups of its separable sub-C*-algebras. This allows us to remove separability assumptions from previous results on the dimension of Cuntz semigroups. To obtain these results, we introduce a notion of approximation for abstract Cuntz semigroups that is compatible with the approximation of a C*-algebra by sub-C*-algebras. We show that many properties for Cuntz semigroups are preserved by approximation and satisfy a Löwenheim-Skolem condition.

Covering dimension of C*-algebras and 2-coloured classification

We introduce the concept of finitely coloured equivalence for unital *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras, for which unitary equivalence is the 1-coloured case. We use this notion to classify *-homomorphisms from separable, unital, nuclear C*-algebras into ultrapowers of simple, unital, nuclear, Z-stable C*-algebras with compact extremal trace space up to 2-coloured equivalence by their behaviour on traces; this is based on a 1-coloured classification theorem for certain order zero maps, also in terms of tracial data. As an application we calculate the nuclear dimension of non-AF, simple, separ…
