The infinite product of matrices with integer entries, known as a modified Glimm–Bratteli symbol n, is a new, sufficiently simple, and very powerful tool for the characterization of approximately finite-dimensional (AF) algebras. This symbol provides a convenient algebraic representation of the Bratteli diagram for AF algebras in the same way as was previously performed by J. Glimm for more simple uniformly hyperfinite (UHF) algebras. We apply this symbol to characterize integrodifferential algebras. The integrodifferential algebra FN,M is the C*-algebra generated by the following operators acting on L2([0,1)N→CM): (1) operators of multiplication by bounded matrix-valued functions, (2) finite-difference operators, and (3) integral operators. Most of the operators and their approximations studying in physics belong to these algebras. We give a complete characterization of FN,M. In particular, we show that FN,M does not depend on M, but depends on N. At the same time, it is known that differential algebras HN,M, generated by the operators (1) and (2) only, do not depend on both dimensions N and M; they are all *-isomorphic to the universal UHF algebra. We explicitly compute the Glimm–Bratteli symbols (for HN,M, it was already computed earlier) which completely characterize the corresponding AF algebras. This symbol n is an infinite product of matrices with nonnegative integer entries. Roughly speaking, all the symmetries appearing in the approximation of complex infinite-dimensional integrodifferential and differential algebras by finite-dimensional ones are coded by a product of integer matrices.

We obtain a complete characterization of all orthogonality preserving operators from a JB *-algebra to a JB *-triple. If T : J → E is a bounded linear operator from a JB *-algebra (respectively, a C *-algebra) to a JB *-triple and h denotes the element T**(1), then T is orthogonality preserving, if and only if, T preserves zero-triple-products, if and only if, there exists a Jordan *-homomorphism [Formula: see text] such that S(x) and h operator commute and T(x) = h•r(h) S(x), for every x ∈ J, where r(h) is the range tripotent of h, [Formula: see text] is the Peirce-2 subspace associated to r(h) and •r(h) is the natural product making [Formula: see text] a JB *-algebra. This characterization culminates the description of all orthogonality preserving operators between C *-algebras and JB *-algebras and generalizes all the previously known results in this line of study.

Let X be an infinite compact metric space, α : X → X a minimal homeomorphism, u the unitary that implements α in the transformation group C*-algebra C(X) ⋊α ℤ, and [Formula: see text] a class of separable nuclear C*-algebras that contains all unital hereditary C*-subalgebras of C*-algebras in [Formula: see text]. Motivated by the success of tracial approximation by finite dimensional C*-algebras as an abstract characterization of classifiable C*-algebras and the idea that classification results for C*-algebras tensored with UHF algebras can be used to derive classification results up to tensoring with the Jiang-Su algebra [Formula: see text], we prove that (C(X) ⋊α ℤ) ⊗ Mq∞ is tracially approximately [Formula: see text] if there exists a y ∈ X such that the C*-subalgebra (C*(C(X), uC0(X\{y}))) ⊗ Mq∞ is tracially approximately [Formula: see text]. If the class [Formula: see text] consists of finite dimensional C*-algebras, this can be used to deduce classification up to tensoring with [Formula: see text] for C*-algebras associated to minimal dynamical systems where projections separate tracial states. This is done without making any assumptions on the real rank or stable rank of either C(X) ⋊α ℤ or C*(C(X), uC0(X\{y})), nor on the dimension of X. The result is a key step in the classification of C*-algebras associated to uniquely ergodic minimal dynamical systems by their ordered K-groups. It also sets the stage to provide further classification results for those C*-algebras of minimal dynamical systems where projections do not necessarily separate traces.

Given a unital inductive limit of C*-algebras for which each C*-algebra of the inductive sequence comes equipped with a Rieffel compact quantum metric, we produce sufficient conditions to build a compact quantum metric on the inductive limit from the quantum metrics on the inductive sequence by utilizing the completeness of the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity of Latrémolière on compact quantum metric spaces. This allows us to place new quantum metrics on all unital approximately finite-dimensional (AF) algebras that extend our previous work with Latrémolière on unital AF algebras with faithful tracial state. As a consequence, we produce a continuous image of the entire Fell topology on the ideal space of any unital AF algebra in the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity topology.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].

Let A, B be separable simple unital tracially AF C*-algebras. Assuming that A is exact and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) in KK-theory, we prove the existence, and uniqueness modulo approximately inner automorphisms, of nuclear *-homomorphisms from A to B with prescribed K-theory data. This implies the AF-embeddability of separable exact residually finite-dimensional C*-algebras satisfying the UCT and reproves Huaxin Lin's theorem on the classification of nuclear tracially AF C*-algebras.

For every p ≥ 2, we give a characterization of positive definite functions on a free group with finitely many generators, which can be extended to positive linear functionals on the free group C*-algebra associated with the ideal ℓp. This is a generalization of Haagerup's characterization for the case of the reduced free group C*-algebra. As a consequence, the canonical quotient map between the associated C*-algebras is not injective, and they have a unique tracial state.

In Section 33 of [2], Bonsall and Duncan define an elementtof a Banach algebratoact compactlyonif the mapa→tatis a compact operator on. In this paper, the arguments and technique of [1] are used to study this question for C*-algebras (see also [10]). We determine the elementsbof a C*-algebrafor which the mapsa→ba,a→ab,a→ab+ba,a→babare compact (respectively weakly compact), determine the C*-algebras which are compact in the sense of Definition 9, of [2, p. 177] and give a characterization of the C*-automorphisms ofwhich are weakly compact perturbations of the identity.

AbstractLet A be a simple C*-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one and weakly unperforated K0(A) of countable rank. We show that a monomorphism Φ: C(S2) → A can be approximated pointwise by homomorphisms from C(S2) into A with finite dimensional range if and only if certain index vanishes. In particular,we show that every homomorphism ϕ from C(S2) into a UHF-algebra can be approximated pointwise by homomorphisms from C(S2) into the UHF-algebra with finite dimensional range.As an application, we show that if A is a simple C*-algebra of real rank zero and is an inductive limit of matrices over C(S2) then A is an AF-algebra. Similar results for tori are also obtained. Classification of Hom (C(X), A) for lower dimensional spaces is also studied.

Recently a new kind of approximation to continuum topological spaces has been introduced, the approximating spaces being partially ordered sets (posets) with a finite or at most a countable number of points. The partial order endows a poset with a nontrivial non-Hausdorff topology. Their ability to reproduce important topological information of the continuum has been the main motivation for their use in quantum physics. Posets are truly noncommutative spaces, or noncommutative lattices, since they can be realized as structure spaces of noncommutative C*-algebras. These noncommutative algebras play the same rôle as the algebra of continuous functions [Formula: see text] on a Hausdorff topological space M and can be thought of as algebras of operator valued functions on posets. In this article, we will review some mathematical results that establish a duality between finite posets and a certain class of C*-algebras. We will see that the algebras in question are all postliminal approximately finite dimensional (AF) algebras.

AbstractWe will give a characterization of stable real C*-algebras analogous to the one given for complex C*-algebras by Hjelmborg and Rørdam. Using this result, we will prove that any real C*-algebra satisfying the corona factorization property is stable if and only if its complexification is stable. Real C*-algebras satisfying the corona factorization property include AF-algebras and purely infinite C*-algebras. We will also provide an example of a simple unstable C*-algebra, the complexification of which is stable.
