We explore various constructions with ideals in a $C^*$-algebra $A$ in relation to the notions of real rank, stable rank and extremal richness. In particular we investigate the maximum ideals of low rank. And we investigate the relationship between existence of infinite or properly infinite projections in an extremally rich $C^*$-algebra and non-existence of ideals or quotients of stable rank one.

It is shown that if $G$ is an almost connected nilpotent group then the stable rank of $C^*(G)$ is equal to the rank of the abelian group $G/[G,G]$. For a general nilpotent locally compact group $G$, it is shown that finiteness of the rank of $G/[G,G]$ is necessary and sufficient for the finiteness of the stable rank of $C^*(G)$ and also for the finiteness of the real rank of $C^*(G)$.

We compute the real rank and the stable rank of full group C*-algebras. Main result is (i) rr (C*(Fn)) = ∞, (ii) sr (C*(G1 * G2)) = ∞(|G1| ≥ 2, |G2| ≥ 2 and |G1| + |G2| ≥ 5), (iii) sr (C*(G1 * G2)) = 1(|G1| = |G2| = 2), where Fn is the free group with n generators, G1 and G2 are finite groups and |G| means the order of the group G.

We study homeomorphisms of a Cantor set with $k$ ( $k<+\infty$ ) minimal invariant closed (but not open) subsets; we also study crossed product C*-algebras associated to these Cantor systems and certain of their orbit-cut sub-C*-algebras. In the case where $k\geq 2$ , the crossed product C*-algebra is stably finite, has stable rank 2, and has real rank 0 if in addition $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$ is aperiodic. The image of the index map is connected to certain directed graphs arising from the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model of the Cantor system. Using this, it is shown that the ideal of the Bratteli diagram (of the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model) must have at least $k$ vertices at each level, and the image of the index map must consist of infinitesimals.

AbstractWe consider the crossed product or transformation group C*-algebras arising from actions of the group of integers on a totally disconnected compact metrizable space. Under a mild hypothesis, we give a necessary and sufficient dynamical condition for the invertibles in such a C*-algebra to be dense. We also examine the property of residual finiteness for such C*-algebras.
