Review text

Let \({\mathcal C}_T\) be a class of unital \(C^*\)-algebras which arise as inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of circle algebras. For a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\) the Elliott invariant is the tuple consisting of the \(K\)-groups \(K_i(A)\), the tracial state space \(T(A)\) and the pairing map \(r_A\). The purpose of the paper is to study this invariant and to describe the nature of the unital *-homomorphisms from an arbitrary \(C^*\)-algebra from \({\mathcal C}_T\) into a simple \(C^*\)-algebra from \({\mathcal C}_T\). A unital *-homomorphism \(\phi: A\to B\) between unital \(C^*\)-algebras induces a dual map \(\phi_T: T(B)\to T(A)\) and a contractive homomorphism \(\phi^{\natural}: U(A)/DU(A)\to U(B)/DU(B)\) between the unitary groups modulo the closure of their commutator subgroups. The main results of the paper are the following theorems, which are the counterparts of some theorems of [\textit{K. E. Nielsen} and \textit{K. Thomsen}, Expo. Math. 14, No. 1, 17-56 (1996; Zbl 0865.46037)]. Theorem 2.1. Given \(A,B\in{\mathcal C}_T\) with \(B\) simple. Let \(\phi,\psi: A\to B\) be two unital *-homomorphisms. Then \(\phi\) and \(\psi\) are approximate inner equivalent iff \(\phi_*= \psi_*\) on \(K_0(A)\), \(\phi_T= \psi_T\) on \(T(B)\) and \(\phi^{\natural}= \psi^{\natural}\) on \(U(A)/DU(A)\). Theorem 3.3. Let \(A,B\in{\mathcal C}_T\) be unital \(C^*\)-algebras with \(B\) simple and infinite-dimensional. Let \(\phi_0: K_0(A)\to K_0(B)\) be a positive, order unit preserving homomorphism, \(\Phi: T(B)\to T(A)\) be a continuous, scale preserving, affine map and \(\Psi: U(A)/DU(A)\to U(B)/DU(B)\) a group homomorphism. Then there exists a unital *-homomorphism \(\psi:A\to B\) such that \(\psi_*= \phi_0\) on \(K_0(A)\), \(\psi_T= \Phi\) on \(T(A)\) and \(\psi^{\natural}= \Psi\) on \(U(A)/DU(A)\) iff the tuple \((\phi_0,\Phi,\Psi)\) is strongly compatible. These results are applied to the special case where the domain algebra is \(C(T)\) and a classification, up to approximate inner equivalence, of the unitary elements in simple \(C^*\)-algebra from \({\mathcal C}_T\) is obtained.
