The range problem for the Cuntz semigroup of AI-algebras<\/p>\n
Abstract:<\/p>\n
A C*-algebra A is said to be a (separable) AI-algebra if A is isomorphic to an inductive limit of the form $\\lim\\limits_n (C[0,1]\\otimes M_n)$ with $F_n$ a finite dimensional C*-algebra for every n. Whenever A is unital and commutative, A is isomorphic to C(X) with X an inverse limit of finite disjoint copies of unit intervals.<\/p>\n
In this 2-session talk, we will study the range problem for the Cuntz semigroup of AI-algebras. That is, we will study whether or not one can determine a natural set of properties that an abstract Cuntz semigroup must satisfy in order to be isomorphic to the Cuntz semigroup of an AI-algebra.<\/p>\n
During the first part of the talk, we will focus on unital commutative AI-algebras. In this case, one is able to solve the range problem for this class, thus giving a list of properties that an abstract Cuntz semigroup S satisfies if and only if S is isomorphic to the Cuntz semigroup of such an algebra. In order to prove this result, we first introduce the notion of almost chainable spaces and prove that a compact metric space X is almost chainable if and only if C(X) is an AI-algebra. We also characterize when S is isomorphic to the Cuntz semigroup of lower-semicontinuous functions $X\\to 0,1,\\dots,\\infty$ for some T1-space X. The results in this first session will appear in [4].<\/p>\n
In the second session, we will present a local characterization for the Cuntz semigroup of any AI-algebra resembling Shen’s local characterization of dimension groups[3], later used in the celebrated Effros-Handelman-Shen theorem[2]. One of the key features in the proof of our result will be the notion of Cauchy sequences for Cu-morphisms (with respect to the distance introduced in [1]) and the fact that, under the right assumptions, they have a unique limit; see [5].<\/p>\n
