Ext and OrderExt Classes of Certain Automorphisms of C*-Algebras Arising from Cantor Minimal Systems

Abstract

AbstractGiordano, Putnam and Skau showed that the transformation group C*-algebra arising from a Cantor minimal system is an AT-algebra, and classified it by its K-theory. For approximately inner automorphisms that preserve C(X), we will determine their classes in the Ext and OrderExt groups, and introduce a new invariant for the closure of the topological full group. We will also prove that every automorphism in the kernel of the homomorphism into the Ext group is homotopic to an inner automorphism, which extends Kishimoto’s result.
