Abstract

We prove several results of the following general form: automorphisms of (or actions of Zd{\mathbb{Z}}^d on) certain kinds of simple separable unital C*-algebras AA which have a suitable version of the Rokhlin property are generic among all automorphisms (or actions), or in a suitable class of automorphisms. That is, the ones with the version of the Rokhlin property contain a dense GδG_{\delta}-subset of the set of all such automorphisms (or actions). Specifically, we prove the following. If AA is stable under tensoring with the Jiang-Su algebra Z,Z, and has tracial rank zero, then automorphisms with the tracial Rokhlin property are generic. If AA has tracial rank zero, or, more generally, AA is tracially approximately divisible together with a technical condition, then automorphisms with the tracial Rokhlin property are generic among the approximately inner automorphisms. If AA is stable under tensoring with the Cuntz algebra O{\mathcal{O}}_{\infty} or with a UHF algebra of infinite type, then actions of Zd{\mathbb{Z}}^d on AA with the Rokhlin property are generic among all actions of Zd.{\mathbb{Z}}^d. We further give a related but more restricted result for actions of finite groups.
