Representable e-theory for c0(x)-algebras
Efton Park,Jody Trout +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the notion of an asymptotic C 0 (X)-morphism from A to B and construct representable E-theory groups RE(X; A, B).

Decomposition rank and absorbing extensions of type I algebras
D. Kucerovsky,P.W. Ng +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if A and B are separable C * -algebras and B has finite decomposition rank, then the extension τ is absorbing.

When almost multiplicative morphisms are close to homomorphisms
Huaxin Lin,Huaxin Lin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that multiplicative contractive positive morphisms from C(X) into a simple C*-algebra A of real rank zero and of stable rank one are close to homomorphisms, provided that certain K-theoretical obstacles vanish.

Fuglede–Kadison determinant: theme and variations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the definition of determinants for finite von Neumann algebras, due to Fuglede and Kadison, and indicate the relevance of these determinants to the study of -torsion in topology.
