Constructive proofs of fact that a stably free left $S$-module $M$ with rank$(M)\geq$sr$(S)$ is free, where sr$(S)$ denotes the stable rank of an arbitrary ring $S$, were developed in some articles. Additionally, in such papers, are…

A group may be considered $C^*$-stable if almost representations of the group in a $C^*$-algebra are always close to actual representations. We initiate a systematic study of which discrete groups are $C^*$-stable or only stable with…

Following Elliott's earlier work, we show that the Elliott invariant of any finite separable simple $C^*$-algebra with finite nuclear dimension can always be described as a scaled simple ordered group pairing together with a countable…

In the present paper the notion of continuous frames is introduced and some results of these frames are proved. Next, we give the concept of duals of continuous frames in Hilbert C*-modules and investigate some properties of them.

We study the $C^*$-algebras associated to upper-semicontinuous Fell bundles over second-countable Hausdorff groupoids. Based on ideas going back to the Packer--Raeburn "Stabilization Trick," we construct from each such bundle a groupoid…

A class of $C^*$-algebras, to be called those of generalized tracial rank one, is introduced, and classified by the Elliott invariant. A second class of unital simple separable amenable $C^*$-algebras, those whose tensor products with…

B. Blackadar recently proved that any full corner $pAp$ in a unital C*-algebra $A$ has K-theoretic stable rank greater than or equal to the stable rank of $A$. (Here $p$ is a projection in $A$, and fullness means that $ApA=A$.) This result…

The uncovering of new structure on the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra of stable rank one leads to several applications: We answer affirmatively, for the class of stable rank one C*-algebras, a conjecture by Blackadar and Handelman on…

The aim of the present paper is to describe self-duality and C*- reflexivity of Hilbert {\bf A}-modules $\cal M$ over monotone complete C*-algebras {\bf A} by the completeness of the unit ball of $\cal M$ with respect to two types of…

An unital C*-algebra A is said to have cancellation of projections if the semigroup D(A) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections in matrices over A is cancellative. It has long been known that stable rank one implies…

We show that the unit ball of a full Hilbert $C^*$-module is sequentially compact in a certain weak topology if and only if the underlying $C^*$-algebra is finite dimensional. This provides an answer to the question posed in J.…

We consider several natural ways of expressing the idea that a one-sided ideal in a C*-algebra (or a submodule in a Hilbert C*-module) is large, and show that they differ, unlike the case of two-sided ideals in C*-algebras. We then show how…

Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…

In previous work, we defined and studied $\Sigma^*$-modules, a class of Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras (the latter are $C^*$-algebras that are sequentially closed in the weak operator topology). The present work continues…

The Bohl algebra $\textrm{B}$ is the ring of linear combinations of functions $t^k e^{\lambda t}$, where $k$ is any nonnegative integer, and $\lambda$ is any complex number, with pointwise operations. We show that the Bass stable rank and…

We calculate the real rank and stable rank of CCR algebras which either have only finite dimensional irreducible representations or have finite topological dimension. We show that either rank of A is determined in a good way by the ranks of…

In this paper we present results concerning orthogonality in Hilbert $C^*$-modules. Moreover, for a $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}$, we prove theorems concerning the multi-$\mathscr{A}$-linearity and its preservation by $\mathscr{A}$-linear…

The main result of the present paper is that the stable and unstable C*-algebras associated to a mixing Smale space always contain nonzero projections. This gives a positive answer to a question of the first listed author and Karen Strung…

We prove a new kind of homological stability theorem for automorphism groups of finitely-generated projective modules over Dedekind domains, which takes into account all possible stabilisation maps between these, rather than only…

We compute the Bass stable rank of the ring $\Gamma(X,\mathcal O_X)$ of global sections of the structure sheaf $\mathcal O_X$ on a finite-dimensional Stein space $(X,\mathcal O_X)$ and then apply this result to the problem of the…
