Recently, it was proved by Tikuisis, White and Winter that any faithful trace on a separable, nuclear $C^\ast$-algebras in the UCT class is quasidiagonal. Building on their work, we generalise the result, and show that any faithful,…

Using Cuntz semigroup techniques, we characterize when limit traces are dense in the space of all traces on a free ultrapower of a C*-algebra. More generally, we consider density of limit quasitraces on ultraproducts of C*-algebras. Quite…

Uffe Haagerup proved that quasitraces on unital exact C* -algebras are traces. We give a short proof under the stronger hypothesis of finite nuclear dimension.

We will show that for a separable exact $C^*$-algebra with a faithful amenable trace, the property that all amenable traces are quasidiagonal is invariant under homotopy.

Our motivating question was whether all traces on a U-ultrapower of a C*-algebra A, where U is a non-principal ultrafilter on N, are necessarily U-limits of traces on A. We show that this is false so long as A has infinitely many extremal…

We study the existence of faithful tracial states on C*-algebras as well as the stronger proerty that all quotients admit faithful tracial states. We provide a sufficient and necessary condition for when C*-algebras admit faithful tracial…

A trace on a C*-algebra is amenable (resp. quasidiagonal) if it admits a net of completely positive, contractive maps into matrix algebras which approximately preserve the trace and are approximately multiplicative in the 2-norm (resp.…

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 prove that faithful traces on separable and nuclear C*-algebras in the UCT class are quasidiagonal. This has a number of consequences. Firstly, by results of many hands, the classification of unital, separable, simple and nuclear…

It is shown that all 2-quasitraces on a unital exact C*-algebra are traces. As consequences one gets: (1) Every stably finite exact unital C*-algebra has a tracial state, and (2) if an AW*-factor of type II_1 is generated (as an…

In this short note we give some techniques for constructing, starting from a {\it sufficient} family $\mc F$ of semifinite or finite traces on a von Neumann algebra $\M$, a new trace which is faithful.

In the present article we review an approximation procedure for amenable traces on unital and separable C*-algebras acting on a Hilbert space in terms of F\o lner sequences of non-zero finite rank projections. We apply this method to…

It is shown in this paper that two positive elements of a C*-algebra agree on all lower semicontinuous traces if and only if they are equivalent in the sense of Cuntz and Pedersen. A similar result is also obtained in the more general case…

We consider tracial stability, which requires that tuples of elements of a C*-algebra with a trace that nearly satisfy the relation are close to tuples that actually satisfy the relation. Here both "near" and "close" are in terms of the…

We describe supertraces on ``queerifications'' (see arxiv:2203.06917) of the algebras of matrices of ``complex size'', algebras of observables of Calogero-Moser model, Vasiliev higher spin algebras, and (super)algebras of…

The cone of lower semicontinuous traces is studied with a view to its use as an invariant. Its properties include compactness, Hausdorffness, and continuity with respect to inductive limits. A suitable notion of dual cone is given. The cone…

Motivated by the study of traces on graph $C^*$-algebras, we consider traces (additive, central maps) on Leavitt path algebras, the algebraic counterparts of graph $C^*$-algebras. In particular, we consider traces which vanish on nonzero…

We study C*-algebras associated with subsemigroups of groups. For a large class of such semigroups including positive cones in quasi-lattice ordered groups and left Ore semigroups, we describe the corresponding semigroup C*-algebras as…

This is a survey of recent progress in the structure and classification theory of nuclear C*-algebras. In particular, I outline how the Universal Coefficient Theorem ensures a positive answer to the quasidiagonality question in the presence…

Main result: If a C*-algebra is simple, $\sigma$-unital, has finitely many extremal traces, and has strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then its multiplier also has strict comparison of positive elements by traces. The same…
