Review text

The paper starts with some results about isomorphisms of TAF algebras (triangular subalgebras of AF algebras). The authors prove a diagonal extension theorem, dealing with the question of extending \(C^*\)- isomorphisms of masas to isomorphisms of their ambient AF algebras. If \(D\) is a masa in a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(U\), then a nest \(M\subseteq D\) is a linearly ordered set of projections containing 0 and 1; associated with \(M\) is the nest algebra of \(M\), \(\text{Alg }M= \{x\in U\): \(p^ \perp xp=0\), \(p\in M\}\). The rest of the paper is devoted to a detailed study of nest subalgebras of UHF algebras. For instance, in section 2, the authors define certain isomorphism invariants and show that in any UHF algebra there are many nonisomorphic nest algebras, generated by maximal nests. Further, they investigate the relationship between trace-preserving bijections of nests and order isomorphisms of the masas induced by the nest algebras. They prove an order isomorphism theorem for nest algebras which gives sufficient conditions for extending such a bijection to an order isomorphism. The paper ends with some results on the \(K\)-theory of AF algebras (\(K\)- theory reduces to that of the diagonal masa) and nest algebras (\(K\)- theory coincides with that of the commutant of the nest). The last section contains also an interesting structure theorem for nest algebras.
