A note on two Conjectures on Dimension funcitons of $C^{*}$-algebras
Abstract
\noindent Let be an arbitrary algebra. In \cite{BH} Blackadar and Handelman conjectured the set of lower semicontinuous dimension functions on to be pointwise dense in the set of all dimension functions on and to be a Choquet simplex. We provide an equivalent condition for the first conjecture for unital . Then by applying this condition we confirm the first Conjecture for all unital for which either the radius of comparison is finite or the semigroup is almost unperforated. As far as we know the most general results on the first Conjecture up to now assumes exactness, simplicity and moreover stronger regularity properties such as strict comparison. Our results are achieved through applications of the techniques developed in \cite{BR} and \cite{R}. We also note that, whenever the first Conjecture holds for some unital and extreme boundary of the the quasitrace simplex of is finite, then every dimension function of is lower semicontinuous and is affinely homeomorphic to the quasitrace simplex of . Combing this with the said results on the first Conjecture give us a class of algebras for which is a Choquet simplex, i.e. gives a new class for which the 2nd Conjecture mentioned above holds.
