Given a compact metric space X, we show that the commutative C*‐algebra C(X) is semiprojective if and only if X is an absolute neighbourhood retract of dimension at most 1. This confirms a conjecture of Blackadar.

A characterization of weak (semi-)projectivity for commutative C*-algebras
We show that the spectrum X of a weakly semiprojective, commutative C*-algebra C(X) is at most one dimensional. This completes the work of S{\o}rensen and Thiel on the characterization of weak…

The homotopy lifting theorem for semiprojective C*-algebras
We prove a complete analog of the Borsuk Homotopy Extension Theorem for arbitrary semiprojective C*-algebras. We also obtain some other results about semiprojective C*-algebras: a partial lifting…

Obstructions to countable saturation in corona algebras
. We study the extent of countable saturation for coronas of abelian C ∗ -algebras. In particular, we show that the corona algebra of C 0 ( R n ) is countably saturated if and only if n = 1.

There are no noncommutative soft maps
It is shown that for a map $f \colon X \to Y$ of compact spaces the unital $\ast$-homomorphism $C(f) \colon C(Y) \to C(X)$ is projective in the category $\operatorname{Mor}({\mathcal C}^{1})$…
Semiprojectivity and semiinjectivity in different categories
Projectivity and injectivity are fundamental notions in category theory. We consider natural weakenings termed semiprojectivity and semiinjectivity, and study these concepts in different categories.…
Almost commuting matrices, cohomology, and dimension
We investigate which relations for families of commuting matrices are stable under small perturbations, or in other words, which commutative $C^*$-algebras $C(X)$ are matricially semiprojective.…

The noncommutative analog of an approximative absolute retract (AAR) is introduced, a weakly projective C*-algebra. This property sits between being residually finite dimensional and projectivity.…

We solve a class of lifting problems involving approximate polynomial relations (soft polynomial relations). Various associated C*-algebras are therefore projective. The technical lemma we need is a…

We show that a separable C*-algebra is an inductive limits of projective C*-algebras if and only if it has trivial shape, that is, if it is shape equivalent to the zero C*-algebra. In particular,…
