Noncommutative Geometry Seminar - Sam Evington
Title: Nuclear dimension of simple C*-algebras
Speaker: Sam Evington (University of Glasgow)
Abstract: The nuclear dimension of a C*-algebra, introduced by Winter and Zacharias, is a non-commutative generalisation of the covering dimension of a topological space. Whilst any non-negative integer or infinity can be realised as the nuclear dimension of some commutative C*-algebra, the nuclear dimension of a simple C*-algebra must be either 0,1 or infinity. This trichotomy is just one application of my joint work on the Toms--Winter Conjecture with Castillejos, Tikuisis, White, and Winter. In this talk, I will outline our results, their further applications, and the crucial new idea at the heart of our proof (Complemented Partitions of Unity).
