Which $K$-groups $K(C^*_r(G))$ are computed?

We have the Pimsner-Voiculescu exact sequences and the Baum-Connes map for possible computation of the $K$-theory of the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(G)$ for a topological, locally compact, ...

Finding a proof within a paper: reduced $K$-theory of Higson compactification of $[0,\infty)$ is uncountable

Emerson and Meyer's Paper "Dualizing the Coarse Assembly Map" (2006) states the following Proposition (5.1): Let $X = [0,\infty)$ be the ray with its Euclidean metric coarse structure. Then the ...

K-group properties of quasi-diagonal $C^*$-algebras

Let $A$ be a separable unital quasidiagonal $C^*$-algebra. What can be said about the $K$-theory of $A$, for example some properties? Especially, are there some criterions to decide whether or not $K_*...

Generators K-theory of Cuntz algebras

The Cuntz algebra $O_n$ is the C*-algebra generated by n isometries $S_1$, ..., $S_n$ such that $S_i^* S_j=\delta_{i,j}$ and $\sum_{i=1}^nS_iS_i^*=1$. Cuntz proved that this algebra has the following ...

Morita Equivalence of Full Corners in $C^*$-algebras

Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a $C^*$-algebra with a unique normalized trace and $p \in \mathcal{A}$ is a projection so that $\mathcal{B} = p\mathcal{A}p$ is a full corner. Does $\mathcal{B}$ have a ...

Explicit path in the unitary group of a $C^*$-algebra

For $G$ a discrete group, there is a canonical inclusion $g\mapsto u_g$ of $G$ into the unitary group of the reduced $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(G)$. Denote by $[u_g]$ the class of $u_g$ in the (topological) ...
