In this paper, we construct a class of ASH algebras of real rank zero and stable rank one which is not K-pure. Then we show the following: (i) There exists a real rank zero inductive limit of 1-dimensional noncommutative CW complexes which…

In this paper, we prove that unital homomorphisms from continuous functions on a compact metric space to matrices over a C*-algebra with tracial rank at most one are approximately diagonalizable. We also consider some generalizations of…

The set $\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R})$ of all compactly distributions, with the operations of addition, convolution, multiplication by complex scalars, and with the strong dual topology is a topological algebra. In this article, it is shown…

We study the structure and compute the stable rank of C*-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs. We completely determine the stable rank of the C*-algebra when the k-graph either contains no cycle with an entrance, or is cofinal. We also…

We show that every separable simple tracially approximately divisible $C^*$-algebra has strict comparison, is either purely infinite, or has stable rank one. As a consequence, we show that every (non-unital) finite simple ${\cal Z}$-stable…

We characterize the values of the stable rank for Leavitt path algebras, by giving concrete criteria in terms of properties of the underlying graph.

We give a description of a weakly continuous rank preserving map on a reflexive algebra on complex Hilbert space with commutative completely distributive subspace lattice. We show that the implementation of a rank preserving map can be…

We investigate the behavior of finitely generated projective modules over a down-up algebra. Specifically, we show that every noetherian down-up algebra $A(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ has a non-free, stably free right ideal. Further, we compute…

Let $A$ be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\alpha\colon G\rightarrow \mathrm{Aut}(A)$ be an action of $G$ on $A$ which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. We prove that…

We give some general results on the ring structure of Hochschild cohomology of smash products of algebras with Hopf algebras. We compute this ring structure explicitly for a large class of finite dimensional Hopf algebras of rank one.

Let $\A$ and $\B$ be operator algebras with $c_0$-isomorphic diagonals and let $\K$ denote the compact operators. We show that if $\A\otimes\K$ and $\B\otimes\K$ are isometrically isomorphic, then $\A$ and $\B$ are isometrically isomorphic.…

We analyze the decomposition rank (a notion of covering dimension for nuclear $C^*$-algebras introduced by E. Kirchberg and the author) of subhomogeneous $C^*$-algebras. In particular we show that a subhomogeneous $C^*$-algebra has…

We study Steinberg algebras constructed from ample Hausdorff groupoids over commutative integral domains with identity. We reconstruct (graded) groupoids from (graded) Steinberg algebras and use this to characterise when there is a…

We show that every topological k-graph constructed from a locally compact Hausdorff space {\Omega} and a family of pairwise commuting local homeomorphisms on {\Omega} satisfying a uniform boundedness condition on the cardinalities of…

We show that the property of being rationally $K$-stable passes from the fibers of a continuous $C(X)$-algebra to the ambient algebra, under the assumption that the underlying space $X$ is compact, metrizable, and of finite covering…

We show how to reconstruct a graded ample Hausdorff groupoid with topologically principal neutrally graded component from the ring structure of its graded Steinberg algebra over any commutative integral domain with 1, together with the…

Let $H^\infty(\mathbb D\times\N)$ be the Banach algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on the disjoint union of countably many copies of the open unit disk $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$. We show that the dense stable rank of…

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely the class of simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have their…

It is shown that every Jiang-Su stable approximately subhomogeneous C*-algebra has finite decomposition rank. Previously, it was not even known that such algebras have finite nuclear dimension. A key step in the proof is that subhomogeneous…

Let $G$ be a group of subexponential growth and $\mathscr C\overset{q}{\to}G$ a Fell bundle. We show that any Banach $^*$-algebra that sits between the associated $\ell^1$-algebra $\ell^1( G\,\vert\,\mathscr C)$ and its $C^*$-envelope has…
