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…
The uncovering of new structure on the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra of stable rank one leads to several applications: We answer affirmatively, for the class of stable rank one C*-algebras, a conjecture by Blackadar and Handelman on…
Any unital separable continuous C(X)-algebra with properly infinite fibres is properly infinite as soon as the compact Hausdorff space X has finite topological dimension. We study conditions under which this is still the case in the…
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,…
Let $X$ be a compact metric space, and let $A$ be a pure $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra. We show that $C(X,A)$ is pure whenever $A$ is simple; or every quotient of $A$ is stably finite (e.g., $A$ has stable rank one). Using permanence properties of…
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 prove that the twisted group C*-algebra of a finitely generated nilpotent group is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable if and only if it is nowhere scattered, a condition that we characterize in terms of the given group and 2-cocycle. As a main…
In this paper, we give two properties of C*-algebra that could be deduced from the properties of its large subalgebra. Let A be an infinite dimensional simple unital C*-algebra and let B be a centrally large subalgebra of A, we prove that A…
The Calkin algebra is not isomorphic to the corona of the stabilization of the Cuntz algebra~${\mathcal O}_\infty$, any other Kirchberg algebra, or even the corona of the stabilization of any unital, ${\mathcal Z}$-stable ${\mathrm…
We construct an endomorphism of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ which does not admit a conditional expectation. This answers a question in the testamentary homework by E. Kirchberg. As an application, it is shown that any unital…
We introduce a bivariant version of the Cuntz semigroup as equivalence classes of order zero maps generalizing the ordinary Cuntz semigroup. The theory has many properties formally analogous to KK-theory including a composition product. We…
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…
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…
In this paper we generalize a theorem of M. Hilsum and G. Skandalis stating that the $C^*$- algebra of any foliation of non zero dimension is stable. Precisely, we show that the C*-algebra of a Lie groupoid is stable whenever the groupoid…
Let $A$ be a (not necessarily unital) separable non-elementary simple amenable C*-algebra whose tracial basis may not have finite covering dimension and may not be compact but satisfies certain condition (C). We show that $A$ is ${\cal…
A C*-algebra $A$ is said to be stable if it is isomorphic to $A \otimes K(\ell_2)$. Hjelmborg and R\o rdam have shown that countable inductive limits of separable stable C*-algebras are stable. We show that this is no longer true in the…
We show that for a large class of C*-algebras $\mathcal{A}$, containing arbitrary direct limits of separable type I C*-algebras, the following statement holds: If $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and $B$ is a simple projectionless C*-algebra with trivial…
It is shown that, for a C*-algebra of stable rank one (i.e., in which the invertible elements are dense), two well-known isomorphism invariants, the Cuntz semigroup and the Thomsen semigroup, contain the same information. More precisely,…
We extend our previous results on generalized Dixmier-Douady theory to graded $C^*$-algebras, as means for explicit computations of the invariants arising for bundles of ungraded $C^*$-algebras. For a strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebra…
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…
