Analys- och sannolikhetsseminarium

Abstrakt finns enbart på engelska: In his seminal investigation of Z-stability for simple, nuclear C*-algebras, Winter introduced the notion of (m,n)-pureness with m and n quantifying comparison and divisibility properties in the Cuntz semigroup, and he showed that every simple C*-algebra that has locally finite nuclear dimension and that is (m,n)-pure for some m and n is Z-stable. Combined with the result of Roerdam that every Z-stable C*-algebra is pure (that is, (0,0)-pure, which means that its Cuntz semigroup has the strongest comparison and divisibility properties), this provides a situation where (m,n)-pureness implies pureness.

In a recent paper with R. Antoine, F. Perera and L. Robert, we removed the assumption of locally finite nuclear dimension and showed that every simple, (m,n)-pure C*-algebra is pure. In this work we generalize the result even further by showing that (m,n)-pureness implies pureness in general.

As an application we show that every C*-algebra with the Global Glimm Property and finite nuclear dimension is pure.

This is joint work with R. Antoine, F. Perera, and E. Vilalta
