Research Interests・Research Keywords

  • Research theme: The main theme of my research is the theory of operator algebras and their group actions. Although operator algebras are basically represented on infinite dimensional linear spaces, it is important to consider approximations by finite dimensional spaces in several topologies. Often times, an elementary technique of finite dimensional matrices plays a key role. The main goal of my research is to characterize classifiable C*-algebras abstractly. In particular, I am interested in the following problems. 1. Amenable C*-algebras, nuclear dimension, and Toms-Winter conjecture, 2. The classification theory of group actions on the Jiang-Su algebra, 3. Quasidiagonality, Rosenberg conjecture, and Blackadar-Kirchberg conjecture.

    Keyword: Operator Algebras, C*-algebras, Group Actions, Nuclear Dimension, Classification Theory

  • On the Bundle of KMS State Spaces for Flows on a <i>Z</i>-Absorbing C*-Algebra Reviewed International coauthorship International journal

    Elliott, GA; Sato, Y; Thomsen, K

    A complete characterization is given of the collection of KMS state spaces for a flow on the Jiang-Su C*-algebra in the case that the set of inverse temperatures is bounded. Namely, it is an arbitrary compact simplex bundle over the (compact) set of inverse temperatures with fibre at zero a single point. (Hence this holds for the tensor product of this C*-algebra with any unital C*-algebra with unique trace state.) An analogous characterization is given for arbitrary flows on a (Kirchberg–Phillips) classifiable infinite unital simple C*-algebra: for each such algebra the KMS states form an arbitrary proper simplex bundle (the inverse image of a compact set of inverse temperatures is compact) such that the fibre at zero is empty.

    Let Abe a unital separable simple C*-algebra with a unique tracial state. We prove that if A is nuclear and quasidiagonal, then A tensored with the universal uniformly hyperfinite (UHF) algebra has decomposition rank at most one. We then prove that A is nuclear, quasidiagonal, and has strict comparison if and only if A has finite decomposition rank. For such A, we also give a direct proof that A tensored with a UHF algebra has tracial rank zero. Using this result, we obtain a counterexample to the Powers-Sakai conjecture.

    We consider a certain class of unital simple stably finite C*-algebras which absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. Under a mild assumption, we show that the crossed product of a C*-algebra in this class by a strongly outer action of ℤ N or a finite group is Z -stable. As an application, we also prove that all strongly outer actions of ℤ 2 on Z are mutually cocycle conjugate.

    We obtain three results: 1) Every compact simplex bundle with exactly one point in the fiber over 0 is the KMS bundle of a periodic flow on the Jiang-Su algebra. 2) Let A be a separable unital C*-algebra with a unique trace state. Suppose that A tensorially absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra. The (weak) cocycle-conjugacy classes of flows that are not approximately inner are uncountable. 3) Let B be a separable, simple, unital, purely infinite and nuclear C*-algebra in the UCT class. Assume that the K1 group of B is torsion free. Every proper simplex bundle with empty fiber over 0 is the KMS bundle of a periodic flow on B.

    We consider 2-positive almost order zero (disjointness preserving) maps on C*-algebras. Generalizing the argument of M. Choi for multiplicative domains, we give an internal characterization of almost order zero for 2-positive maps. It is also shown that complete positivity can be reduced to 2-positivity in the definition of decomposition rank for unital separable C*-algebras.

  • Covering dimension of C∗-algebras and 2-coloured classification Reviewed

    We introduce the concept of finitely coloured equivalence for unital ∗-homomorphisms between C∗-algebras, for which unitary equivalence is the 1- coloured case. We use this notion to classify ∗-homomorphisms from separable, unital, nuclear C∗-algebras into ultrapowers of simple, unital, nuclear, Z-stable C∗- algebras with compact extremal trace space up to 2-coloured equivalence by their behaviour on traces; this is based on a 1-coloured classification theorem for certain order zero maps, also in terms of tracial data. As an application we calculate the nuclear dimension of non-AF, simple, separable, unital, nuclear, Z-stable C∗-algebras with compact extremal trace space: it is 1. In the case that the extremal trace space also has finite topological covering dimension, this confirms the remaining open implication of the Toms-Winter conjecture. Inspired by homotopy-rigidity theorems in geometry and topology, we derive a "homotopy equivalence implies isomorphism" result for large classes of C∗-algebras with finite nuclear dimension.

    We consider a crossed product of a unital simple separable nuclear stably finite Ƶ-stable C∗-algebra A by a strongly outer cocycle action of a discrete countable amenable group Γ. Under the assumption that A has finitely many extremal tracial states and Γ is elementary amenable, we show that the twisted crossed product C∗-algebra is Ƶ-stable. As an application, we also prove that all strongly outer cocycle actions of the Klein bottle group on Ƶ are cocycle conjugate to each other. This is the first classification result for actions of non-abelian infinite groups on stably finite C∗-algebras.

    For projectionless C*-algebras absorbing the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially, we study a kind of the Rohlin property for automorphisms. We show that the crossed products obtained by automorphisms with this Rohlin property also absorb the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially under a mild technical condition on the C*-algebras. In particular, for the Jiang-Su algebra we show the uniqueness up to outer conjugacy of the automorphism with this Rohlin property.

    Let G be an inductive limit of finite cyclic groups, and A be a unital simple projectionless C*-algebra with K1(A) ≅ G and a unique tracial state, as constructed based on dimension drop algebras by Jiang and Su. First, we show that any two aperiodic elements in Aut(A)/WInn(A) are conjugate, where WInn(A) means the subgroup of Aut(A) consisting of automorphisms which are inner in the tracial representation. In the second part of this paper, we consider a class of unital simple C*-algebras with a unique tracial state which contains the class of unital simple A-algebras of real rank zero with a unique tracial state. This class is closed under inductive limits and crossed products by actions of with the Rohlin property. Let A be a TAF-algebra in this class. We show that for any automorphism α of A there exists an automorphism of A with the Rohlin property such that ∼ α and α are asymptotically unitarily equivalent. For the proof we use an aperiodic automorphism of the Jiang-Su algebra.

    We have studied the nuclear dimension, which characterizes the classifiability of nuclear C*-algebras, their dynamical systems and conditional expectations of operator algebras with finite nuclear dimension. In particular, we construct KMS states on operator algebras with the bundle structure under the assumption of finite nuclear dimension with a unique tracial state, as a consequence of this construction we have obtained uncountably many counterexamples to the Powers-Sakai conjecture. We have also constructed an endomorphism without conditional expectation on operator algebras with finite nuclear dimension, solving an open problem by E. Kirchberg. In previous classification theories, it has been fundamental to assume a condition of the simplicity, but in order of the technical obstructions, we have presented a classification theory for nonsimple operator algebras, which we call rationally approximately finite dimensional (RAF) algebras.
