The Cuntz comparison in the standard \(\mathrm C^*\)-algebra (Q1724558)

Summary: The Cuntz comparison, introduced by Cuntz in early 1978, associates each \(\mathrm C^*\)-algebra with an abelian semigroup which is an invariant for the classification of the nuclear \(\mathrm C^*\)-algebras and called the Cuntz semigroup. In this paper, we study the Cuntz comparison in the standard \(\mathrm C^*\)-algebra. We characterize the Cuntz comparison in terms of the dimension of the operator range. Also, we consider the structure of the semilinear map which preserves the Cuntz comparison.
