Dr. Pasnicu was  invited to present at the 2018 Symposium on K-Theory and Non-Commutative Topology in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

In his presentation he discussed The Weak Ideal Property and Topological Dimension Zero.

 

Abstract

Following up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C⇤-algebras with the
weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some resu

 •The weak ideal property implies topological dimension zero.

• For a separable C*-algebra A, topological dimension zero is equivalent to RR(O2 ⌦ A) = 0, to D⌦A having the ideal property for some (or any) Kirchberg algebra D, and
to A being residually hereditarily in the class of all C*-algebras B such that O• ⌦Bcontains a nonzero projection.

• Extending the known result for Z2, the classes of C*-algebras with residual (SP),  which are residually hereditarily (properly) infinite, or which are purely infinite and
have the ideal property, are closed under crossed products by arbitrary actions of abelian 2-groups.

• If A and B are separable, one of them is exact, A has the ideal property, and B has the weak ideal property, then A⌦min B has the weak ideal property.

• If X is a totally disconnected locally compact Hausdorff space and A is a C0(X)-  algebra all of whose fibers have one of the weak ideal property, topological dimension
zero, residual (SP), or the combination of pure infiniteness and the ideal property, then A also has the corresponding property (for topological dimension zero,
provided A is separable).

• Topological dimension zero, the weak ideal property, and the ideal property are all equivalent for a substantial class of separable C*-algebras including all separable
locally AH algebras.

• The weak ideal property does not imply the ideal property for separable Z-stable C*-algebras.
We give other related results, as well as counterexamples to several other statements one
might hope for.
