On the asymptotic homotopy type of inductive limit C*-algebras.
Suppose is a separable unital -algebra each fibre of which is isomorphic to the same strongly self-absorbing and -injective -algebra . We show that and are isomorphic as -algebras provided the compact Hausdorff space is finite-dimensional. This statement is known not to extend to the infinite-dimensional case.
G. Elliott extended the classification theory of -algebras to certain real rank zero inductive limits of subhomogeneous -algebras with one dimensional spectrum. We show that this class of -algebras is not closed under extensions. The relevant obstruction is related to the torsion subgroup of the -group. Perturbation and lifting results are provided for certain subhomogeneous -algebras.
