Abstract: A classification is given for (regular) positions of direct sums of two matroid algebras (unital algebraic limits of matrix algebras) in a matroid superalgebra, where the individual summands have index 2 in their associated corner algebra. A similar classification is obtained for positions of direct sums of 2-symmetric algebras and, in the odd case, for the positions of sums of 2-symmetric C*-algebras in matroid C*-algebras. The approach relies on an analysis of intermediate non-self-adjoint operator algebras and the classifications are given in terms of K0 invariants, partial isometry homology and scales in the associated composite K0-homology group.


A complex algebra with involution, which is a union of a chain of subalgebras, each of which being a full matrix algebra, is called a matroid algebra. The author defines the standard index 2 inclusions of matroid algebras, the generic index 4 inclusions of direct sums of matroid algebras, inclusions of 2-symmetric algebras, and generic limits of 4-cycle algebras. He shows that irregular isomorphisms of regular systems of 4-cycle algebras are only possible if the systems are of matroid type and have vanishing homology. Then generic limits of 4-cycle algebras are classified, as well as relative positions of direct sums of matroid algebras, and 2-symmetric algebras. Obstructions to homology inverting automorphisms are also indicated. The most important of the preceding arguments are finally generalized to the case of approximately regular embeddings and the classification of operator algebra limits of generic 4-cycle algebra systems, in the odd case, is obtained.
