Title: A classification of finite simple amenable Z-stable C∗-algebras, I: C*-algebras with generalized tracial rank one
A class of C*-algebras, to be called those of generalized tracial rank one, is introduced. A second class of unital simple separable amenable C*-algebras, those whose tensor products with UHF-algebras of infinite type are in the first class, to be referred to as those of rational generalized tracial rank one, is proved to exhaust all possible values of the Elliott invariant for unital finite simple separable amenable Z-stable C*- algebras. A number of results toward the classification of the second class are presented including an isomorphism theorem for a special sub-class of the first class, leading to the general classification of all unital simple C*- algebras with rational generalized tracial rank one in Part II.  more » « less

  1. Elliott, G.A. (Ed.)
    A classification theorem is obtained for a class of unital simple separable amenable Z-stable C*-algebras which exhausts all possi- ble values of the Elliott invariant for unital stably finite simple separable amenable Z-stable C*-algebras. Moreover, it contains all unital simple separable amenable C∗-algebras which satisfy the UCT and have finite rational tracial rank.

  2. We study a class of stably projectionless simple C*-algebras which may be viewed as having generalized tracial rank one in analogy with the unital case. Some struc- tural questions concerning these simple C*-algebras are studied. The paper also serves as a technical support for the classification of separable stably projectionless simple amenable Jiang-Su stable C*-algebras.

  3. We construct two types of unital separable simple 𝐶∗-algebras: 𝐴𝐶1 𝑧 and 𝐴𝐶2 𝑧 , one exact but not amenable, the other nonexact. Both have the same Elliott invariant as the Jiang–Su algebra – namely, 𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧 has a unique tracial state,  𝐾0  𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧  , 𝐾0  𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧  + ,  1 𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧  = (Z, Z+, 1), and 𝐾1  𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧  = {0} (𝑖 = 1, 2). We show that 𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧 (𝑖 = 1, 2) is essentially tracially in the class of separable 𝒵-stable 𝐶∗-algebras of nuclear dimension 1. 𝐴𝐶𝑖 𝑧 has stable rank one, strict comparison for positive elements and no 2-quasitrace other than the unique tracial state. We also produce models of unital separable simple nonexact (exact but not nuclear) 𝐶∗-algebras which are essentially tracially in the class of simple separable nuclear𝒵-stable 𝐶∗-algebras, and the models exhaust all possible weakly unperforated Elliott invariants.We also discuss some basic properties of essential tracial approximation. 1.

  4. null (Ed.)
    We present a classification theorem for separable amenable simple stably projectionless C -algebras with finite nuclear dimension whose K0 vanish on traces which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. One of C -algebras in the class is denoted by Z0 which has a unique tracial state, K_0(Z_0) = Z and K1(Z_0) = {0}. Let A and B be two separable amenable simple C -algebras satisfying the UCT. We show that A ⊗ Z_0 = B ⊗ Z_0 if and only if Ell(A ⊗ Z_0 ) = Ell(B ⊗ Z_0 ). A class of simple separable C -algebras which are approximately sub-homogeneous whose spectra having bounded dimension is shown to exhaust all possible Elliott invariant for C -algebras of the form A ⊗ Z_0 , where A is any finite separable simple amenable C -algebras.

  5. We revisit the notion of tracial approximation for unital simple C*-algebras. We show that a unital simple separable in nite dimensional C*-algebra A is asymptotically tracially in the class of C-algebras with nite nuclear dimension if and only if A is asymptotically tracially in the class of nuclear Z-stable C-algebras. 1
