We show that a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is nuclear iff there is a constant $K$ and $\alpha<3$ such that, for any bounded homomorphism $u\colon A \to B(H)$, there is an isomorphism $\xi\colon H\to H$ satisfying $\|\xi^{-1}\|\|\xi\| \le…

We study permanence properties of the classes of stable and so-called D-stable C*-algebras, respectively. More precisely, we show that a C_0(X)-algebra A is stable if all its fibres are, provided that the underlying compact metrizable space…

Let A be an approximately subhomogeneous (ASH) C*-algebra with slow dimension growth. We prove that if A is unital and simple, then the Cuntz semigroup of A agrees with that of its tensor product with the Jiang-Su algebra Z. In tandem with…

The completely positive rank is an analogue of topological covering dimension, defined for nuclear C*-algebras via completely positive approximations. These may be thought of as simplicial approximations of the algebra, which leads to the…

We exhibit a unital simple nuclear non-type-I C*-algebra into which the Jiang-Su algebra does not embed unitally. This answers a question of M. R{\o}rdam.

We study a tracial notion of Z-absorption for simple, unital C*-algebras. We show that if A is a C*-algebra for which this property holds then A has almost unperforated Cuntz semigroup, and if in addition A is nuclear and separable we show…

We exhibit examples of simple separable nuclear C*-algebras, along with actions of the circle group and outer actions of the integers, which are not equivariantly isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In fact, the fixed point subalgebras…

Let $X$ be an infinite compact metrizable space, and let $\sigma: X\to X$ be a minimal homeomorphism. Suppose that $(X, \sigma)$ has zero mean topological dimension. The associated C*-algebra $A=\mathrm{C}(X)\rtimes_\sigma\mathbb Z$ is…

In this article, we study the permanence of topological and algebraic dimension type properties of simple unital $C\sp*$-algebras. When a pair of unital $C\sp*$-algebras $(A, B)$ is associated by a $*$-homomorphism $\phi: A\to B$ which is…

Let G be a finite group acting on {1,...,n}. For any C*-algebra A, this defines an action of \alpha of G on A^{\otimes n}. We show that if A tensorially absorbs a UHF algebra of infinite type, the Jiang-Su algebra, or is approximately…

We present a stable uniqueness theorem for non-unital C*-algebras. Generalized tracial rank one is defined for stably projectionless simple C*-algebras. Let $A$ and $B$ be two stably projectionless separable simple amenable C*-algebras with…

We demonstrate that pure C*-algebras form a robust class by proving that pureness follows from very weak comparison and divisibility properties. Using this, we show that every simple, non-elementary C*-algebra with a unique quasitrace and…

We introduce the decomposition rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C^*-algebras. The decomposition rank generalizes ordinary covering dimension and has nice permanence properties; in particular, it behaves well with respect to…
