In this work we characterise the C*-algebras A generated by projections with the property that every pair of projections in A has positive angle, as certain extensions of abelian algebras by algebras of compact operators. We show that this property is equivalent to a lattice theoretic property of projections and also to the property that the set of finite-dimensional *-subalgebras of A is directed.

We present a general approach to a modular frame theory in C*-algebras and Hilbert C*-modules. The investigations rely on the idea of geometric dilation to standard Hilbert C*-modules over unital C*-algebras that possess orthonormal Hilbert bases, and of reconstruction of the frames by projections and by other bounded modular operators with suitable ranges. We obtain frame representations and decomposition theorems, as well as similarity and equivalence results for frames. Hilbert space frames and quasi-bases for conditional expectations of finite index on C*-algebras appear as special cases. Using a canonical categorical equivalence of Hilbert C*-modules over commutative C*-algebras and (F)Hilbert bundles the results find a reintepretation for frames in vector and (F)Hilbert bundles. Fields of applications are investigations on Cuntz-Krieger-Pimsner algebras, on conditional expectations of finite index, on various ranks of C*-algebras, on classical frame theory of Hilbert spaces (wavelet and Gabor frames), and others. 2001: In the introduction we refer to related publications in detail.
From a suitable groupoid G, we show how to construct an amenable principal groupoid whose C*-algebra is a Kirchberg algebra which is KK-equivalent to C*(G). Using this construction, we show by example that many UCT Kirchberg algebras can be realised as the C*-algebras of amenable principal groupoids.
We develop methods for computing graded K-theory of C*-algebras as defined in terms of Kasparov theory. We establish grad
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and let $U_0(A)$ be the group of unitaries of $A$ which are path connected to the identity. Denote by $CU(A)$ the closure of the commutator subgroup of $U_0(A).$ Let $i_A^{(1, n)}colon U_0(A)/CU(A)rightarrow U_0(mathrm M_n(A))/CU(mathrm M_n(A))$ be the hm, defined by sending $u$ to ${rm diag}(u,1_n).$ We study the problem when the map $i_A^{(1,n)}$ is an isomorphism for all $n.$ We show that it is always surjective and is injective when $A$ has stable rank one. It is also injective when $A$ is a unital $C^*$-algebra of real rank zero, or $A$ has no tracial state. We prove that the map is an isomorphism when $A$ is the Villadsens simple AH--algebra of stable rank $k>1.$ We also prove that the map is an isomorphism for all Blackadars unital projectionless separable simple $C^*$-algebras. Let $A=mathrm M_n(C(X)),$ where $X$ is any compact metric space. It is noted that the map $i_A^{(1, n)}$ is an isomorphism for all $n.$ As a consequence, the map $i_A^{(1, n)}$ is always an isomorphism for any unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ that is an inductive limit of finite direct sum of $C^*$-algebras of the form $mathrm M_n(C(X))$ as above. Nevertheless we show that there are unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ such that $i_A^{(1,2)}$ is not an isomorphism.
We give the beginnings of the development of a theory of what we call R-coactions of a locally compact group on a $C^*$-algebra. These are the coactions taking values in the maximal tensor product, as originally proposed by Raeburn. We show that the theory has some gaps as compared to the more familiar theory of standard coactions. However, we indicate how we needed to develop some of the basic properties of R-coactions as a tool in our program involving the use of coaction functors in the study of the Baum-Connes conjecture.
