On the classification of simple amenable $C*$-algebras with finite decomposition rank, II

We prove that every unital stably finite simple amenable $C^*$-algebra $A$ with finite nuclear dimension and with UCT such that every trace is quasi-diagonal has the property that $Aotimes Q$ has generalized tracial rank at most one, where $Q$ is the universal UHF-algebra. Consequently, $A$ is classifiable in the sense of Elliott.

The classification of simple separable unital locally ASH algebras

Let $A$ be a simple separable unital locally approximately subhomogeneous C*-algebra (locally ASH algebra). It is shown that $Aotimes Q$ can be tracially approximated by unital Elliott-Thomsen algebras with trivial $textrm{K}_1$-group, where $Q$ is the universal UHF algebra. In particular, it follows that $A$ is classifiable by the Elliott invariant if $A$ is Jiang-Su stable.

Classification of finite simple amenable ${cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras

We present a classification theorem for a class of unital simple separable amenable ${cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras by the Elliott invariant. This class of simple $C^*$-algebras exhausts all possible Elliott invariant for unital stably finite simple separable amenable ${cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras. Moreover, it contains all unital simple separable amenable $C^*$-alegbras which satisfy the UCT and have finite rational tracial rank.

Determinant Rank of C*-algebras

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.
