Title
C*-algebras, Dynamical Systems, and Classification
Simple unital nuclear C*-algebras, assuming a minor finiteness condition and the so-called UCT, can be classified up to *-homomorphisms by an invariant consisting of K-theory, traces, and a pairing between these objects. I will discuss the classification of such C*-algebras by focussing on the classification for C*-algebras arising from two interesting classes of dynamical systems: minimal homeomorphisms with mean dimension zero and mixing Smale spaces.In my fist lecture I will introduce the classification programme as well as the construction of C*-algebra from dynamical systems via crossed products and groupoids.In my second lecture, I will discuss properties and detail the classification of the two classes mentioned above.
