Ranks of operators and pureness of C*-algebras
Hannes Thiel
For simple, nonelementary C*-algebras, we show uniform density of functions realized as ranks of operators. It follows that strict comparison by traces forces almost divisibility,…
Centrally pure C*-algebras
Francesc Perera, Hannes Thiel, Eduard Vilalta
We show that a separable C*-algebra is -stable if and only if its uncorrected central sequence algebra is pure, if and only if Kirchberg'…
The Global Glimm Property for C*-algebras of topological dimension zero
Ping Wong Ng, Hannes Thiel, Eduard Vilalta
We show that a C*-algebra with topological dimension zero has the Global Glimm Property (every hereditary subalgebra contains an almost full nilpotent element) if and only if it is…
Extensions of pure C*-algebras
Francesc Perera, Hannes Thiel, Eduard Vilalta
Given a closed ideal in a C*-algebra , we show that is pure if and only if and are pure. More generally, we study permanence of comparison and divisibility pro…
Strict comparison for twisted group C*-algebras
Sven Raum, Hannes Thiel, Eduard Vilalta
We prove that any reduced twisted group C*-algebra of a selfless group with the rapid decay property is selfless. As an application, we show that twisted group C*-algebras of acyli…
Criteria for the existence of Schwartz Gabor frames over rational lattices
Ulrik Enstad, Hannes Thiel, Eduard Vilalta
We give an explicit criterion for a rational lattice in the time-frequency plane to admit a Gabor frame with window in the Schwartz class. The criterion is an inequality formulated…
Pure C*-algebras
Ramon Antoine, Francesc Perera, Hannes Thiel +1
We demonstrate that pure C*-algebras form a robust class by proving that pureness follows from very weak comparison and divisibility properties. Using this, we show that every simp…
