MORPHISMS OF SIMPLE TRACIALLY AF ALGEBRAS

From MaRDI portal





The class of tracially AF algebras was introduced by \textit{H. Lin} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353, No. 2, 693--722 (2001; Zbl 0964.46044)]. This paper deals with the concept of simple tracially AF-algebras: A simple separable unital \(C^*\)-algebras is called tracially AF if for any finite set \({\mathcal F}\subset A\), any \(\varepsilon>0\) and any nonzero projection in \(p\in A\), there is a nonzero projection \(q\in A\) and there is a finite-dimensional \(C^*\)-subalgebra \(D\subset qAq\) with \(1_D=q\) such that: (i) \(\|[q,a]\|<\varepsilon\) for all \(a\in{\mathcal F}\), (ii) dist\((qaq,D)<\varepsilon\) for all \(a\in{\mathcal F}\), (iii) \(q^\perp=1-q\) is unitary equivalent to a subprojection of \(p\). The main result is the following: Let \(A,B\) be separable simple unital tracially AF \(C^*\)-algebras. Suppose that \(A\) is exact and satisfies the universal coefficient theorem (UCT). Then for any \(\alpha\in KK(A,B)\) such that the induced map \(\alpha_*:K_0(A)\to K_0(B)\) is order preserving and \(\alpha_*[1_A]=[1_B]\) there is a nuclear unital \(*\)-homomorphism \(\varphi:A\to B\) such that \(\varphi_*(x)=\alpha_*(x)\) for all \(x\in {\underline{K}}(A)\), where \(\underline{K}(A)\) denotes the total \(K\)-theory group of \(A\). If \(\psi:A\to B\) is another nuclear \(*\)-homomorphism with \(\psi_*=\varphi_*:\underline{K}(A)\to\underline{K}(B)\), then there is a sequence of unitaries \(u_n\in B\) such that \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\|\varphi(a)-u_n\psi(a)u^*_n\|=0\) for all \(a\in A\). The author shows that Lin's techniques [see \textit{H. Lin}, Duke Math. J. 125, No. 1, 91--119 (2004; Zbl 1068.46032)] work equally well for approximating the map \(K_0(A)\to \operatorname {Aff}S(K_0(A))\) for separable unital simple exact \(C^*\)-algebras with topological tracial rank at most one. So, a new method of handling the infinitesimals of \(K_0(A)\) is given and the local approximation by residually finite-dimensional \(C^*\)-algebras is avoided. This, together with the combined techniques of Lin (previous paper) and of \textit{M. Dardalat} and \textit{S. Eilers} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 85, No. 1, 168--210 (2002; Zbl 1031.46070)] leads to the proof of the main theorem. This result implies the AF-embeddability of separable exact residually finite-dimensional \(C^*\)-algebras satisfying UCT and reproves Lin's theorem on the classification of nuclear tracially AF \(C^*\)-algebras.
