We show that if A is a separable, nuclear, O_infty-absorbing (or strongly purely infinite) C*-algebra, which is homotopic to zero in an ideal-system preserving way, then A is the inductive limit of C*-algebras of the form M_k(C_0(G,v)),…
A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely, the class of separable simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have…
We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…
The class of separable C*-algebras which can be written as inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras with spectrum homeomorphic to a disjoint union of trees and trees with a point removed is classified by the Cuntz semigroup.
Let $p$ be a polynomial in one variable whose roots either all have multiplicity more than 1 or all have multiplicity exactly 1. It is shown that the universal $C^*$-algebra of a relation $p(x)=0$, $\|x\| \le 1$ is semiprojective. In the…
We prove a complete analog of the Borsuk Homotopy Extension Theorem for arbitrary semiprojective C*-algebras. We also obtain some other results about semiprojective C*-algebras: a partial lifting theorem with specified quotient, a lifting…
Motivated by a question of L. Robert, asking whether $\rm L(T(A)) = Lsc_{C}(T(A))$ for any separable C*-algebra A, we introduce and initiate the study of \emph{tracially reflexive C*-algebras}. We first prove that commutative C*-algebras…
We initiate the study of pointed approximative absolute neighborhood retracts. Our motivation is to generate examples of C*-algebras that behave in unexpected ways with respect to weak semiprojectivity. We consider both weak…
We prove a number of fundamental facts about the canonical order on projections in C*-algebras of real rank zero. Specifically, we show that this order is separative and that arbitrary countable collections have equivalent (in terms of…
We introduce the concept of a direct $C_{\omega}^{\ast}$-system and show that every non-separable unital $C^{\ast}$-algebra is the limit of essentially unique direct $C_{\omega}^{\ast}$-system. This result is then applied to the problem of…
It is shown that a strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra is of real rank zero and absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra if it contains a nontrivial projection. We also consider cases where the UCT is automatic for strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras,…
We define the class of weakly approximately divisible unital C*-algebras and show that this class is closed under direct sums, direct limits, any tensor product with any C*-algebra, and quotients. A nuclear C*-algebra is weakly…
We show that the spectrum X of a weakly semiprojective, commutative C*-algebra C(X) is at most one dimensional. This completes the work of S{\o}rensen and Thiel on the characterization of weak (semi-)projectivity for commutative…
The equivariant version of semiprojectivity was recently introduced by the first author. We study properties of this notion, in particular its relation to ordinary semiprojectivity of the crossed product and of the algebra itself. We show…
In this paper, we introduce some classes of generalized tracial approximation ${\rm C^*}$-algebras. Consider the class of unital ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which are tracially $\mathcal{Z}$-absorbing (or have tracial nuclear dimension at most…

Given an arbitrary countable ordinal $\alpha $, we introduce the notion of type $I_{\alpha }$ C*-algebra and $\alpha $-subhomogeneous C*-algebra. When $\alpha =0$, these recover the notions of Fell C*-algebra and of commutative C*-algebra,…
We introduce and characterize a particularly tractable class of unital type 1 C*-algebras with bounded dimension of irreducible representations. Algebras in this class are called recursive subhomogeneous algebras, and they have an inductive…
It is shown that a separable C*-algebra is inner quasidiagonal if and only if it has a separating family of quasidiagonal irreducible representations. As a consequence, a separable C*-algebra is a strong NF algebra if and only if it is…
It is shown that projectionless C*-algebras that tensorially absorb the Jiang-Su algebra have the property that every element is a limit of products of two nilpotents. This is then used to classify the approximate unitary equivalence…
