The Classification of Limits of 2n-cycle Algebras

Abstract

We obtain a complete classification of the locally finite algebras and the operator algebras, given as algebraic inductive limits and Banach algebraic inductive limits respectively, of direct systems: A_1 contained in A_2 contained in A_3 and so on. Here the A_k are 2n-cycle algebras, where n is at least 3 and the inclusions are of rigid type. The complete isomorphism invariant is essentially the triple (K_0(A), H_1(A), Sigma(A)) where K_0(A) is viewed as a scaled ordered group, H_1(A) is a partial isometry homology group and Sigma(A), contained in the direct sum of K_0(A) and H_1(A), is the 2n-cycle joint scale.
