Say that a separable, unital C*-algebra D is strongly self-absorbing if there exists an isomorphism $\phi: D \to D \otimes D$ such that $\phi$ and $id_D \otimes 1_D$ are approximately unitarily equivalent $*$-homomorphisms. We study this…

It is shown that a strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra is of real rank zero and absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra if it contains a nontrivial projection. We also consider cases where the UCT is automatic for strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras,…

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 show that the Fra\"iss\'e limit of a category of unital separable $C^*$-algebras which is sufficiently closed under tensor products of its objects and morphisms is strongly self-absorbing, given that it has approximate inner half-flip.…

We prove a classification theorem for purely infinte simple C*-algebras that is strong enough to show that the tensor products of two different irrational rotation algebras with the same even Cuntz algebra are isomorphic. In more detail,…

We show that there exists a purely infinite AH-algebra. The AH-algebra arises as an inductive limit of C*-algebras of the form C_0([0,1),M_k) and it absorbs the Cuntz algebra O_\infty tensorially. Thus one can reach an O_\infty-absorbing…

Suppose that A is a C*-algebra for which A is isomorphic to A tensor Z, where Z is the Jiang-Su algebra: a unital, simple, stably finite, separable, nuclear, infinite dimensional C*-algebra with the same Elliott invariant as the complex…

The relative commutant $A'\cap A^{\mathcal{U}}$ of a strongly self-absorbing algebra $A$ is indistinguishable from its ultrapower $A^{\mathcal{U}}$. This applies both to the case when $A$ is the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor and to the case…

This note provides some technical support to the proof of a result of W. Winter which shows that two unital separable simple amenable ${\cal Z}$-absorbing C*-algebras with locally finite decomposition property satisfying the UCT whose…

We define a notion of tracial $\mathcal{Z}$-absorption for simple not necessarily unital C*-algebras, study it systematically, and prove its permanence properties. This extends the notion defined by Hirshberg and Orovitz for unital…

We calculate the Cuntz semigroup of the tensor product A with A. We restrict our attention to C*-algebras A which are unital, simple, nuclear, stably finite, have stable rank one, absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially and satisfy the…

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…

We prove that separable C*-algebras which are completely close in a natural uniform sense have isomorphic Cuntz semigroups, continuing a line of research developed by Kadison - Kastler, Christensen, and Khoshkam. This result has several…

We prove that the infinite tensor power of a unital separable C*-algebra absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially if and only if it contains, unitally, a subhomogeneous algebra without characters. This yields a succinct universal property…

We give an example of an exact, stably finite, simple. separable C*-algebra D which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Moreover, D has the following additional properties. It is stably finite, approximately divisible, has real rank…

We show that if A is a separable, nuclear, O_infty-absorbing (or strongly purely infinite) C*-algebra, which is homotopic to zero in an ideal-system preserving way, then A is the inductive limit of C*-algebras of the form M_k(C_0(G,v)),…

Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$, $n>1$, are celebrated examples of a separable infinite simple C*-algebra with a number of fascinating properties. Their K-theory allows an embedding of $\mathcal O_m$ in $\mathcal O_n$ whenever $n-1$ divides…

We prove the title. This characterizes the Jiang-Su algebra Z as the uniquely determined initial object in the category of strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras.

The diadic $C^*$-algebra $\cQ_2$ contains canonically a copy of the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$. It is shown that the inclusion $\cO_2 \subset \cQ_2$ is $C^*$-irreducible and rigid. It follows that the injective envelopes of these two…

We initiate the study of computable presentations of real and complex C*-algebras under the program of effective metric structure theory. With the group situation as a model, we develop corresponding notions of recursive presentations and…
