Let $A$, $B$ be C*-algebras; $A$ separable, $B$ $\sigma$-unital and stable. We introduce a notion of translation invariance for asymptotic homomorphisms from $SA=C_0(\mathbb R)\otimes A$ to $B$ and show that the Connes-Higson construction…

We show that the E-theory of Connes and Higson can be formulated in terms of C*-extensions in a way quite similar to the way in which the KK-theory of Kasparov can. The essential difference is that the role played by split extensions should…

We consider the semigroup $Ext(A,B)$ of extensions of a separable C*-algebra $A$ by a stable C*-algebra $B$ modulo unitary equivalence and modulo asymptotically split extensions. This semigroup contains the group $Ext^{-1/2}(A,B)$ of…

Let $A$, $B$ be separable C*-algebras, $B$ stable. Elements of the E-theory group $E(A,B)$ are represented by asymptotic homomorphisms from the second suspension of $A$ to $B$. Our aim is to represent these elements by (families of) maps…

Let $A$ be a separable $C^*$-algebra and $B$ a stable $C^*$-algebra containing a strictly positive element. We show that the group $\Ext(SA,B)$ of unitary equivalence classes of extensions of $SA$ by $B$, modulo the extensions which are…

We prolonge the list of C*-algebras for which all extensions by any stable separable C*-algebra are semi-invertible. In particular, we handle certain amalgamations, both of C*-algebras and of groups. Concerning groups we consider both…

Let A and B be $C^*$-algebras, A separable, and B $\sigma$-unital and stable. It is shown that there are natural isomorphisms $E(A,B)=KK(SA,Q(B))=[SA,Q(B)\otimes K]$, where $SA=C_0(0,1)\otimes A$, $[\cdot,\cdot]$ denotes the set of homotopy…

In the present paper we study the structure of C*-$algebras generated by a certain *-algebra A and a partial isometry inducing an endomorphism of A.

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…

Let $A$ be a separable $C^*$-algebra and let $B$ be a stable $C^*$-algebra with a strictly positive element. We consider the (semi)group $\Ext^{as}(A,B)$ (resp. $\Ext(A,B)$) of homotopy classes of asymptotic (resp. of genuine) homomorphisms…

This paper brings together C*-algebras and algebraic topology in terms of viewing a C*-algebraic invariant in terms of a topological spectrum. E-theory, E(A,B), is a bivariant functor in the sense that is a cohomology functor in the first…

We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…

Building on previous work of Kadison--Ringrose, Elliott, Akemann--Pedersen, and this author, we prove a dichotomy for the relation of outer equivalence of derivations and unitary equivalence of derivable automorphisms for a separable…

Let $A$ be a separable amenable $C^*$-algebra and $B$ a non-unital and $\sigma$-unital simple $C^*$-algebra with continuous scale ($B$ need not be stable). We classify, up to unitary equivalence, all essential extensions of the form $0…

We investigate conditions on a graph $C^*$-algebra for the existence of a faithful semifinite trace. Using such a trace and the natural gauge action of the circle on the graph algebra, we construct a smooth $(1,\infty)$-summable semfinite…

In this paper we study the structure of the $C^*$-algebra, generated by the representation of the paths semigroup on a partially ordered set (poset) and get the net of isomorphic $C^*$-algebras over this poset. We construct the extensions…

A $C^*$-algebra $A$ is said to have the homotopy lifting property if for all $C^*$-algebras $B$ and $E$, for every surjective $^*$-homomorphism $\pi \colon E \rightarrow B$ and for every $^*$-homomorphism $\phi \colon A \rightarrow E$, any…

Let $G$ be a connected complex algebraic group and $A$ a connected abelian algebraic group endowed with an algebraic action of $G$ by group automorphisms. In the present note we describe the abelian group $\Ext_{alg}(G,A)$ of algebraic…

We classify all essential extensions of the form $$0 \rightarrow \W \rightarrow \D \rightarrow A \rightarrow 0$$ where $\W$ is the unique separable simple C*-algebra with a unique tracial state, with finite nuclear dimension and with…

Let $A$ be an amenable separable \CA and $B$ be a non-unital but $\sigma$-unital simple \CA with continuous scale. We show that two essential extensions $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ of $A$ by $B$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only…
