Abstract
Suppose that
is a simple -algebra, where are compact metrizable spaces of uniformly bounded dimensions (this restriction can be relaxed to a condition of very slow dimension growth). It is proved in this article that can be written as an inductive limit of direct sums of matrix algebras over certain special 3-dimensional spaces. As a consequence it is shown that this class of inductive limit -algebras is classified by the Elliott invariant – consisting of the ordered K-group and the tracial state space – in a subsequent paper joint with G. Elliott and L. Li (Part II of this series). (Note that the -algebras in this class do not enjoy the real rank zero property.)
