Unital embeddings of the Jiang--Su algebra are not unique
Abstract
We show that the canonical embeddings of the Jiang--Su algebra 𝒵 into the universal unital free product 𝒵 ∗ℂ𝒵 are not approximately unitarily equivalent. This answers one of the $99$ problems in the list of Schafhauser, Tikuisis, and White. By contrast, we prove that any two such embeddings into a simple, unital, monotracial C∗-algebra with strict comparison by the unique trace are strongly asymptotically unitarily equivalent.
