Homotopy in Cuntz classes of Z-stable C*-algebras

Andrew Toms
(Purdue University)
Abstract

The Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra is an ordered monoid consisting of equivalence classes of positive elements in the stabilization of the algebra.  It can be thought of as a generalization of the Murray-von Neumann semigroup, and records substantial information about the structure of the algebra.  Here we examine the set of positive elements having a fixed equivalence class in the Cuntz semigroup of a simple, separable, exact and Z-stable C*-algebra and show that this set is path connected when the class is non-compact, i.e., does not correspond to the class of a projection in the C*-algebra.  This generalizes a known result from the setting of real rank zero C*-algebras.

Two Oxford Mathematicians, Andrew Wiles and Marc Lackenby, have received Basic Science and Frontiers of Science awards.

Andrew receives a Basic Science Lifetime Award both for his famous proving of Fermat's Last Theorem and its subsequent influence on the development of the field, and for the inspiration he has provided to many aspiring mathematicians.

Short loxodromics in graph products

Alice Kerr
(University of Bristol)
Abstract
Let G be a finitely generated group, with finite generating set S. Suppose G contains elements with some property that we’re interested in.  Can we find elements with this property uniformly quickly in G? That is, does S^n contain an element with this property for a bounded n?
 
We will discuss this question for graph products, where the elements we are looking for are ones with nice hyperbolic properties, such as loxodromic and Morse elements. We will also talk about consequences for the growth of these groups. This is joint work with Elia Fioravanti.
