We show that every unital amenable separable simple $C^*$-algebra with finite tracial rank which satisfies the UCT has in fact tracial rank at most one. We also show that unital separable simple $C^*$-algebrass which are "tracially" locally…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the finite section method for operators belonging to a certain $C^*$-algebra of operators acting on the Hilbert space $l^2_H(\mathbb{Z})$ of $H$-valued sequences where…

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis. Let $\mathbb B^{(k)}(H)$ denote the set of operators, whose matrices have no more than $k$ non-zero entries in each line and in each column. The closure of the union (over…

It is shown that, for an arbitrary free and minimal $\mathbb Z^n$-action on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, the crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm{C}(X)\rtimes\mathbb Z^n$ always has stable rank one, i.e., invertible elements are dense.…

We show that every stable UCT Kirchberg algebra has a principal \'etale groupoid model, and thus contains a C$^*$-diagonal. Every unital UCT Kirchberg algebra $A$ for which $[1_A]_0$ has infinite order in $K_0(A)$ is also covered by our…

We show that separable, simple, unital C*-algebras with finite decomposition rank absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. This has a number of consequences for Elliott's program to classify nuclear C*-algebras by their K-theory data. In…

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 prove equality between the Topological Stable Rank and the Bass Stable Rank for finitely generated projective left modules over a unital C*-algebra. In order to do so, the concept of Stable Rank of a Hilbert module is introduced.

We study stable finiteness of extensions of 2-graph C*-algebras determined by saturated hereditary sets of vertices. We use two iterations of the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence to calculate the map in K-theory induced by the inclusion of a…

In this exposition-type note we present detailed proofs of certain assertions concerning several algebraic properties of the cone and cylinder algebras. These include a determination of the maximal ideals, the solution of the B\'ezout…

We show that a separable C*-algebra $A$ is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable if and only if its uncorrected central sequence algebra $A' \cap A_{\mathcal{U}}$ is pure, if and only if Kirchberg's central sequence algebra $F(A)$ is pure. More generally,…

We establish a general result about extending a right invertible row over a Banach algebra to an invertible matrix. This is applied to the computation of right topological stable rank of a split exact sequence. We also introduce a…

We give a formula for the stable rank of inclusions of unital Banach algebras in the sense of finite Watatani index. As an application we show that the stable rank of $\ell^1$-algebras of Disk algebras by any action of finite groups is 2.

In this paper we analyse the structure of the Cuntz semigroup of certain $C(X)$-algebras, for compact spaces of low dimension, that have no $\mathrm{K}_1$-obstruction in their fibres in a strong sense. The techniques developed yield…

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…

Let $1 \in A \subset B$ be an inclusion of unital C*-algebras of index-finite type and depth 2. Suppose that $A$ is infinite dimensional simple with $tsr(A) = 1$ and SP-property. Then $tsr(B) \leq 2$. As a corollary when $A$ is a simple…

We prove that the quotient of the group algebra of the braid group on 5 strands by a generic cubic relation has finite rank. This was conjectured in 1998 by Brou\'e, Malle and Rouquier and has for consequence that this algebra is a flat…

We identify a class of smooth Banach *-algebras that are differential subalgebras of commutative C*-algebras whose openness of multiplication is completely determined by the topological stable rank of the target C*-algebra. We then show…

We define and study large and stably large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras. The basic example is the orbit breaking subalgebra of a crossed product by Z, as follows. Let X be an infinite compact metric space, let h be a minimal…

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…
