On the Bundle of KMS State Spaces for Flows on a $${\mathcal {Z}}$$-Absorbing C*-Algebra

Abstract

We obtain three results: 1) Every compact simplex bundle with exactly one point in the fiber over 0 is the KMS bundle of a periodic flow on the Jiang-Su algebra. 2) Let A be a separable unital C*-algebra with a unique trace state. Suppose that A tensorially absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra. The (weak) cocycle-conjugacy classes of flows that are not approximately inner are uncountable. 3) Let B be a separable, simple, unital, purely infinite and nuclear C*-algebra in the UCT class. Assume that the K1 group of B is torsion free. Every proper simplex bundle with empty fiber over 0 is the KMS bundle of a periodic flow on B.
