Hereditary uniform property \(\Gamma\) (Q6171732)

The notion of property Gamma was introduced by Murray and von Neumann to show the existence of non-hyperfinite \(\mathrm{II}_1\) factors. A \(C^*\)-version of this notion known as uniform property Gamma has become an important regularity property for simple unital nuclear \(C^*\)-algebras [\textit{J.~Castillejos} et al., Invent. Math. 224, No.~1, 245--290 (2021; Zbl 1467.46055)]. It was shown in [\textit{J.~Castillejos} et al., Int. Math. Res. Not. 2022, No.~13, 9864--9908 (2022; Zbl 1506.46047)] that under the extra assumption of uniform property Gamma, the Toms-Winter regularity conjecture holds. The goal of the paper under review is twofold: extending uniform property Gamma to the setting of: (i) compact sets of quasitraces (in contrast to traces), (ii) non-unital simple separable \(C^*\)-algebras. In the non-unital setting, the author introduces the notion of hereditary uniform property Gamma which generalises the previous unital notion. This differs from a previous generalisation to the non-unital case introduced in [\textit{J.~Castillejos} and \textit{S.~Evington}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 149, No.~11, 4725--4737 (2021; Zbl 1484.46066)]. An important result in this paper is that hereditary uniform property Gamma implies stable rank one. The main result establishes that the Toms-Winter regularity conjecture holds in the non-unital case under the extra assumption of hereditary uniform property Gamma.
