When a unital C*-algebra A has topological stable rank one (write tsr (A) = 1), we know that tsr (pAp) = 1 for a non-zero projection p ∈ A. When, however, tsr (A) ≥ 2, it is generally false. We prove that if a unital C*-algebra A has a simple unital C*-subalgebra D of A with common unit such that D has Property (SP) and sup p ∈ P(D) tsr (pAp) < ∞, then tsr (A) ≤ 2. As an application let A be a simple unital C*-algebra with tsr (A) = 1 and Property (SP), [Formula: see text] finite groups, αk actions from Gk to Aut ((⋯((A × α1 G1) ×α2 G2)⋯) ×αk-1 Gk-1). (G0 = {1}). Then [Formula: see text]

AbstractWe give a description of the monoid of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections for multiplier algebras of a wide class of σ-unital simple C*-algebras A with real rank zero and stable rank one. The lattice of ideals of this monoid, which is known to be crucial for understanding the ideal structure of themultiplier algebra , is therefore analyzed. In important cases it is shown that, if A has finite scale then the quotient of modulo any closed ideal I that properly contains A has stable rank one. The intricacy of the ideal structure of is reflected in the fact that can have uncountably many different quotients, each one having uncountably many closed ideals forming a chain with respect to inclusion.

AbstractA unital C*-algebra A is called extremally rich if the set of quasi-invertible elements A-1 ex (A)A-1 (= A-1q) is dense in A, where ex(A) is the set of extreme points in the closed unit ball A1 of A. In [7, 8] Brown and Pedersen introduced this notion and showed that A is extremally rich if and only if conv(ex(A)) = A1. Any unital simple C*-algebra with extremal richness is either purely infinite or has stable rank one (sr(A) = 1). In this note we investigate the extremal richness of C*-crossed products of extremally rich C*-algebras by finite groups. It is shown that if A is purely infinite simple and unital then A xα, G is extremally rich for any finite group G. But this is not true in general when G is an infinite discrete group. If A is simple with sr(A) =, and has the SP-property, then it is shown that any crossed product A xαG by a finite abelian group G has cancellation. Moreover if this crossed product has real rank zero, it has stable rank one and hence is extremally rich.

It is shown that the connected stable rank of a unital Banach *-algebra containing two isometries with orthogonal ranges is infinity. Several consequences as its applications and variations are also obtained.
