Approximately Finite Dimensional C*-algebra - Elliott's Classification Program

Elliott's Classification Program

It was proposed by Elliott that other classes of C*-algebras may be classifiable by K-theoretic invariants. For a C*-algebra A, the Elliott invariant is defined to be

where T+(A) is the tracial positivel linear functionals in the weak-* topology, and ρA is the natural pairing between T+(A) and K0(A).

The original conjecture by Elliott stated that the Elliott invariant classifies simple unital separable nuclear C*-algebras.

In the literature one can find several conjectures of Elliott type, with corresponding modified/refined Elliott invariants.

Famous quotes containing the word program:

    These native villages are as unchanging as the woman in one of their stories. When she was called before a local justice he asked her age. “I have 45 years.” “But,” said the justice, “you were forty-five when you appeared before me two years ago.” “Señor Judge,” she replied proudly, drawing herself to her full height, “I am not of those who are one thing today and another tomorrow!”
