Recall that two (complex) vector bundles \(E\) and \(E'\) over a compact Hausdorff space \(X\) are called stably isomorphic if \(E\oplus E\cong E'\oplus E\) for some vector bundle \(E\) over \(X\). Although the \(K_{0}\)-group \(K_0(X)\) classifies vector bundles over \(X\) up to stable isomorphism, it does not answer the question, called the cancellation problem, whether two stably isomorphic vector bundles over \(X\) are isomorphic or not. Known results indicate that the cancellation problem is closely related to the topological dimension of \(X\). In order to study the cancellation problem for noncommutative vector bundles in the theory of noncommutative topology based on operator algebras, Rieffel introduced and studied the topological stable rank of C*-algebras (or more generally, Banach algebras), which generalizes the (complex) topological dimension of spaces, and is shown later by Herman and Vaserstein to coincide, in the case of C*-algebras, with the Bass stable rank used by algebraists. In this paper, the authors use Auslander and Kostant's results on representations of solvable Lie groups, and Rieffel and Nistor's results about the topological stable rank of C*-algebras, to study the topological stable rank of the group C*-algebra \(C^{\ast }( G) \) of connected simply connected solvable Lie groups \(G\) of type I, and show that the topological stable rank of \(C^{\ast }( G) \) is \(\min \{ \max \{ 2,\dim _{\mathbb{C}}( \mathfrak{G}^{\ast }) ^{G}\} ,\dim ( G) \} \), where \(( \mathfrak{G}^{\ast }) ^{G}\) is the fixed point subspace of the (real) dual \(\mathfrak{G}^{\ast }\) of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{G}\) under the coadjoint action of \(G\). As a corollary, they find that the product formula of topological stable rank holds for the group C*-algebras of connected solvable Lie groups, and they also give an estimate of the real rank of \(C^{\ast }( G) \) for connected simply connected solvable Lie groups \(G\) of type I based on \(\dim ( \mathfrak{G} ^{\ast }) ^{G}\).
