Symmetries of simple \(A \mathbb{T}\)-algebras (Q6167026)

Summary: Let \(A\) be a unital simple \(A \mathbb{T}\)-algebra of real rank zero. Given an order two automorphism \(h : K_1 (A) \to K_1 (A)\), we show that there is an order two automorphism \( \alpha : A \to A\) such that \(\alpha_{\ast 0} = \operatorname{id}\), \( \alpha_{\ast 1} = h\) and the action of \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) generated by \(\alpha \) has the tracial Rokhlin property. Consequently, \( C^\ast (A, \mathbb{Z}_2, \alpha)\) is a simple unital AH-algebra with no dimension growth, and with tracial rank zero. Thus our main result can be considered as the \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-action analogue of the Lin-Osaka theorem. As a consequence, a positive answer to a lifting problem of Blackadar is also given for certain split case.
