"On Dimension of Certain C*-algebras"

Abstract:
The classification program of Elliott, the goal of which is to classify 
amenable C*-algebras by their K-theoretical data, has been successful 
for many classes of C*-algebras, in particular for simple AH algebras 
with no dimension growth. Therefore, the AH algebras which may be most 
interested in nowadays are the one with higher dimension growth (than 
zero). In this talk, we will study dimension theory (stable rank and 
real rank) of simple AH-algebras (the algebras can be written as 
inductive limits of matrices algebras over commutative C*-algebras). In 
particular, we are interested in the algebras which can be written as 
inductive limits of commutative C*-algebras with ”diagonal connecting 
maps” but without any hypothesis on dimension. This class include 
interesting algebras: AF algebras, AI and AT algebras, Goodearl 
algebras, algebras constructed by Villadsen, and, by Toms.
