In this paper we introduce an analog of the tracial Rokhlin property, called the {\emph {projection free tracial Rokhlin property}}, for $C^*$-algebras which may not have any nontrivial projections. Using this we show that if $A$ is an…

Let Z denote the simple limit of prime dimension drop algebras that has a unique tracial state. Let A != 0 be a unital C^*-algebra with A = A tensor Z. Then the homotopy groups of the group U(A) of unitaries in A are stable invariants,…

Inspired by Kerr's work on topological dynamics, we define tracial $\mathcal{Z}$-stability for sub-$C^*$-algebras. We prove that for a countable discrete amenable group $G$ acting freely and minimally on a compact metrizable space $X$,…

Let G be a finitely generated, torsion-free, two-step nilpotent group. Let C^*(G) be the universal C^*-algebra of G. We show that acsr(C^*(G)) = acsr(C((\hat{G})_1)), where for a unital C^*-algebra A, acsr(A) is the absolute connected…

We introduce the tracial Rokhlin property for automorphisms of stably finite simple unital C*-algebras containing enough projections. This property is formally weaker than the various Rokhlin properties considered by Herman and Ocneanu,…

Let $\Omega$ be a class of unital $\rm C^{*}$-algebras. The class of ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which are asymptotical tracially in $\Omega$, denoted by ${\rm AT}\Omega$. In this paper, we will show that the following class of ${\rm…

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…

A long-standing open question in the theory of group actions on C*-algebras is the stable rank of the crossed product. Specifically, N. C. Phillips asked that if a finite group $G$ acts on a simple unital C*-algebra $A$ with stable rank…

We show that there exists a separable, nuclear C*-algebra with real rank zero and trivial K-theory such that its multiplier and corona algebra have real rank one. This disproves two conjectures of Brown and Pedersen. We also compute the…

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…

Using different descriptions of the Cuntz semigroup and of the Pedersen ideal, it is shown that $\sigma$-unital simple $C^*$-algebras with almost unperforated Cuntz semigroup, a unique lower semicontinuous $2$-quasitrace and whose…

In the context of commutative $C^*$-algebras we solve a problem related to a question of M. Rieffel by showing that the all-units rank and the norm-one rank coincide with the topological stable rank. We also introduce the notion of unitary…

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…

We observe that a recent theorem of Sato, Toms-White-Winter and Kirchberg-Rordam also holds for certain nonunital C*-algebras. Namely, we show that an algebraically simple, separable, nuclear, nonelementary C*-algebra with strict…

We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…

We introduce the notion of locally finite decomposition rank, a structural property shared by many stably finite nuclear C*-algebras. The concept is particularly relevant for Elliott's program to classify nuclear C*-algebras by K-theory…

Examples of simple, separable, unital, purely infinite $C^*$--algebras are constructed, including: (1) some that are not approximately divisible; (2) those that arise as crossed products of any of a certain class of $C^*$--algebras by any…

It is well-known that every commutative separable unital C*-algebra of real rank zero is a quotient of the C*-algebra of all compex continous functions defined on the Cantor cube. We prove a non-commutative version of this result by showing…

We give a classification theorem for unital separable nuclear simple \CA s with tracial rank no more than one. Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital separable simple nuclear \CA s with $TR(A), TR(B)\le 1$ which satisfy the universal coefficient…

Given a closed ideal $I$ in a C*-algebra $A$, we develop techniques to bound the real rank of $A$ in terms of the real ranks of $I$ and $A/I$. Building on work of Brown, Lin and Zhang, we obtain complete solutions if $I$ belongs to any of…
