Abstract

We show that the E-theory of Connes and Higson can be formulated in terms of C*-extensions in a way quite similar to the way in which the KK-theory of Kasparov can. The essential difference is that the role played by split extensions should be taken by asymptotically split extensions. We call an extension of a C*-algebra $A$ by a stable C*-algebra $B$ asymptotically split if there exists an asymptotic homomorphism consisting of right inverses for the quotient map. An extension is called semi-invertible if it can be made asymptotically split by adding another extension to it. Our main result is that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between asymptotic homomorphisms from $SA$ to $B$ and homotopy classes of semi-invertible extensions of $S^2A$ by $B$.

Nuclear Dimension of Twisted $C^*$-Algebras of Virtually Abelian Groups

Let $G$ be a finitely generated virtually abelian group and $[σ]\in H^2(G;\mathbb{T})$ such that $σ(x,y)$ is always a root of unity. We show that the nuclear dimension of the twisted group $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G,σ)$ is equal to the rank of a finite index abelian subgroup of $G$. We also show that $\mbox{dim}_{\text{nuc}}(C^*(\mathbb{Z}^r,σ))=r$ if and only if $σ$ is type I.

On the II$_{1}$ Factors of Fuchsian Groups

We show that von Neumann algebras of fundamental groups of closed orientable surfaces of genus $g\geq2$ are free group factors on $2g-1$generators. The key technical ingredient involves a proof that the element $w=ABA^{-1}B^{-1}$ of the free group $\mathbb{F}_{2}=\langle A,B\rangle$ is freely complemented in the group factor: $L(\mathbb{F}_{2})=W^{*}(w)*W^{*}(v)$ for some Haar unitary $v\in L(\mathbb{F}_{2})$ that is freely independent from $w$. Combined with previous results, we conclude that for an arbitrary finitely generated torsion-free non-elementary discrete subgroup $Γ\subset PSL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$, $L(Γ)$ is a free group factor, settling a conjecture of de la Harpe and Voiculescu. This result was obtained using OpenAI's ChatGPT Pro 6.0.

On AF- and type I-ideals in certain crossed product C$^\ast$-algebras

We study locally finite-dimensional ideals in crossed products of totally disconnected spaces by free actions of the integers and in uniform Roe algebras of exact discrete groups. In the first case, we present a dynamical description of the largest locally finite-dimensional ideal, which turns out to coincide with the intersection of all maximal ideals. In the latter case, we provide a coarse geometric characterization of the locally finite-dimensional compact ideals. Moreover, we show that for crossed products of totally disconnected spaces by free actions of exact groups, the largest type I-ideal is locally finite-dimensional. In the case of uniform Roe algebras, we provide coarse geometric conditions for compact ideals guaranteeing that the ideal is type I and admits an embedding of a UHF-algebra, respectively.
