Problems on exercise 7.G in the book “K-Theory and C*-Algebras”

I have a lot problems on exercise 7.G in the book K-Theory and C*-Algebras by Wegge-Olsen.
enter image description here$newcommand{C}{mathbb{C}}$




  1. $Xsubset mathbb{C}$? As I know the character space of $C^*(u_1,u_2)$ is homeomorphic to a subset of $C^2$: ${(tau(u_1),tau(u_2))|tau mbox{ is a character of } C^*(u_1,u_2)}$.


  2. The example for a standard unitary should be $tmapsto exp(frac{2pi it}{1+|t|})$ as my tutor points out.


  3. When $A$ is unital, $(SA)^sim={fin C(mathbb{T}to A)|f(1)inC}$. Why does $u_1:=1otimes u in M_n((SA)^sim)$?


  4. Most important, what does the author want to tell us?

    Ad 1.) Indeed, the C*-algebra generated by two commuting unitaries is $C(mathbb T^2)$, where $mathbb T^2 = S^1 times S^1$.

  • $begingroup$
    @AndréS.: sometimes, but not always. If you take $u_1=u_2$, you will get $mathbb T$ or a subset of it. And even if $u_1$ and $U_2$ are free, they may still have discrete spectrum.

    Right. So then I mean: Is a quotient of.
