EXTENSIONS BY C*-ALGEBRAS WITH REAL RANK ZERO

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

We show that all trivial (unital and essential) extensions of C (X) by a σ-unital purely infinite simple C*-algebra A with K1(A) = 0 are unitarily equivalent, provided that X is homeomorphic to a compact subset of the real line or the unit circle. Therefore all (unital and essential) extensions of such can be completely determined by Ext(B, A). An invariant is introduced to classify all such trivial (unital and essential) extensions of C (X) by a σ-unital C*-algebra A with the properties that RR (M (A)) = 0 and C (A) is simple.
