Abstract

For each unital CC^*-algebra AA, we denote celCU(A)=sup{cel(u):uCU(A)}cel_{CU}(A)=\sup\{cel(u):u\in CU(A)\}, where cel(u)cel(u) is the exponential length of uu and CU(A)CU(A) is the closure of the commutator subgroup of U0(A)U_0(A). In this paper, we prove that celCU(A)=2πcel_{CU}(A)=2\pi provided that AA is an AHAH algebras with slow dimension growth whose real rank is not zero. On the other hand, we prove that celCU(A)2πcel_{CU}(A)\leq 2\pi when AA is an AHAH algebra with ideal property and of no dimension growth (if we further assume AA is not of real rank zero, we have celCU(A)=2πcel_{CU}(A)= 2\pi).
