Approaching the UCT problem via crossed products of the Razak-Jacelon algebra (Q2180198)

Summary: We show that the UCT problem for separable, nuclear C*-algebras relies only on whether the UCT holds for crossed products of certain finite cyclic group actions on the Razak-Jacelon algebra. This observation is analogous to and in fact recovers a characterization of the UCT problem in terms of finite group actions on the Cuntz algebra \(\mathcal{O}_2\) established in previous work by the authors. Although based on a similar approach, the new conceptual ingredients in the finite context are the recent advances in the classification of stably projectionless C*-algebras, as well as a known characterization of the UCT problem in terms of certain tracially AF C*-algebras due to \textit{M. Dadarlat} [in: Operator algebras and mathematical physics. Proceedings of the conference, Constanţa, Romania, July 2--7, 2001. Bucharest: Theta. 65--74 (2003; Zbl 1284.19008)].
