The Rokhlin property and the tracial topological rank (Q1763943)

For a unital separable simple \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\), the first named author has defined in [Proc. London Math. Soc., III. Ser. 83, 199--234 (2001; Zbl 1015.46031)] the {tracial topological rank} \(\text{TR}(A)\). The {tracially cyclic Rokhlin property} is defined for an automorphism \(\alpha\) of \(A\). It is shown that if \(\alpha\) satisfies the tracially cyclic Rokhlin property and \(\text{TR}(A)\leq 1\) then \(\text{TR}(A\rtimes_\alpha\mathbb Z)\leq 1\). It is also shown that if \(A\) has a unique tracial state and \(\alpha^m\) is uniformly outer for each \(m\neq 0\) and \(\alpha^r\) is approximately inner for some \(r>0\) then \(\alpha\) satisfies the tracial cyclic Rokhlin property. This result is applied to prove the following conjecture of Kishimoto: if \(A\) is a unital simple \(A\mathbb T\)-algebra of real rank zero and \(\alpha\) is approximately inner and satisfies a version of the Rokhlin property, then \(A\rtimes_\alpha\mathbb Z\) is again an \(A\mathbb T\)-algebra of real rank zero.
