Abstract

Recently, Elliott, Li and Niu proved a classification theorem for Villadsen-type algebras using the combination of the Elliott invariant and the radius of comparison, an invariant which was introduced by Toms in order to distinguish between certain non-isomorphic AH algebras with the same Elliott invariant. This might have raised the prospect that the Elliott classification program can be extended beyond the Z-stable case by adding the radius of comparison to the invariant. I will discuss a recent preprint in which we show that this is not the case: we construct an uncountable family of non-isomorphic AH algebras with the same Elliott and same radius of comparison. We can distinguish between them using a finer invariant, which we call the local radius of comparison.

This is joint work with N. Christopher Phillips.
