We show that several known results about the algebraic K-theory of tensor products of algebras with the C*-algebra of compact operators in Hilbert space remain valid for tensor products with any properly infinite C*-algebra.

We will study some modifications to the notion of an exact C*-algebra by replacing the minimal tensor product with the reduced free product. First we will demonstrate how the reduced free product of a short exact sequence of C*-algebras…

For a given discrete group $G$, we apply results of Kirchberg on exact and injective tensor products of $C^*$-algebras to give an explicit description of the minimal exact correspondence crossed-product functor and the maximal injective…

We develop important properties of the KK-functor on the basis of split exactness. In particular we discuss two slightly different short proofs for the existence of the Kasparov product and its associativity. We use the approach with…

This paper tackles a problem on the possible transfer of regularity to tensor products of algebras over a field k. The main result establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a Noetherian tensor product of two extension fields of k…

We prove that if the unital $C^*$-algebras $\cl A$ and $\cl B$ satisfy Kadison's similarity property and the length $L=L\left(\cl A\tens\limits_{max}\cl B\right)$ of their maximal tensor product is finite, then $\cl A\tens\limits_{max}\cl…

Kadison and Kastler introduced a metric on the set of all C$^*$-algebras on a fixed Hilbert space. In this paper structural properties of C$^*$-algebras which are close in this metric are examined. Our main result is that the property of…

In the context of finite tensor products of Hilbert spaces, we prove that similarity of a tensor product of operator semigroups to a contraction semigroup is equivalent to the corresponding similarity for each factor, after an appropriate…

Let X be an infinite, compact, metrizable space of finite covering dimension and h a minimal homeomorphism of X. We prove that the crossed product of C(X) by h absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially and has finite nuclear dimension. As a…

In this mostly expository note, we revisit the K\"unneth theorem in $K$-theory of nonnuclear C*-algebras. We show that, using examples considered by Skandalis, there are algebras satisfying the K\"unneth theorem for the minimal tensor…

We study $K$-stability for tensor products of diagonal AH-algebras with arbitrary C*-algebras. Our main result provides a characterization of $K$-stability: for a diagonal AH-algebra $A = \varinjlim (A_i, \varphi_i)$, $A \otimes B$ is…

In this note, we show that if $G$ is an amenable group acting on a dendrite $X$, then the restriction of $G$ to any minimal set $K$ is equicontinuous, and $K$ is either finite or homeomorphic to the Cantor set.

We study the units in a tensor product of rings. For example, let k be an algebraically closed field. Let A and B be reduced rings containing k, having connected spectra. Let u \in A tensor_k B be a unit. Then u = a tensor_k b for some…

We study tensor products of a $C_0 (X)$-algebra $A$ and a $C_0 (Y)$-algebra $B$, and analyse the structure of their minimal tensor product $A \otimes B$ as a $C_0 (X \times Y)$-algebra. We show that when $A$ and $B$ define continuous…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space, and let $A$ be a pure $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra. We show that $C(X,A)$ is pure whenever $A$ is simple; or every quotient of $A$ is stably finite (e.g., $A$ has stable rank one). Using permanence properties of…

Tensoring with type I algebras preserves elementary equivalence in the category of tracial von Neumann algebras. The proof involves a novel and general Feferman--Vaught-type theorem for direct integrals of metric structures.

We define united K-theory for real C*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield's topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors -- real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory -- and the natural…

A complete contraction on a C*-algebra A, which preserves all closed two sided ideals J, can be approximated pointwise by elementary complete contractions if and only if the induced map on the tensor product of B with A/J is contractive for…

A generalization of continuous biframe in a Hilbert space is introduced and a few examples are discussed. Some characterizations and algebraic properties of this biframe are given. Here we also construct various types of continuous…

In this paper, we introduce and study the persistent approximation property for quantitative K-theory of filtered C*-algebras. In the case of crossed product C*-algebras, the persistent approximation property follows from the Baum-Connes…
