We investigate the structure of C*-algebras with a finite bound on the dimensions of their irreducible representations, sometimes called "subhomogeneous".
In the first chapter we develop the theory of C*-semigroup bundles. These are C*-bundles over semigroups together with a "structure map" which links the semigroup structure of the base space lo the bundle. Under suitable conditions we prove the existence of "enough" bounded sections, which arc "compatible" with the C*-semigroup bundle structure. Then we establish a complete duality between a certain class of C*-semigroup bundles and subhomogeneous C*-algebras, namely the algebra of compatible sections of such a C*-semigroup bundle is subhomogeneous and conversely, every subhomogeneous C*-algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of compatible sections of such a C*-semigroup bundle. In this way we are able to even represent C*-algebras with non-Hausdorff spectrum as sections in bundles.
The second chapter is devoted to developing methods for the computation of the functor $ΠH¹_R$, which classifies certain C*-bundles with varying finite dimensional fibres. $ΠH¹_R$ is the C*-bundle analog of Čech-cohomology for bundles with one fibre type. The difficulty here is, that homotopy classes of cocycles of bundle imbeddings have to be computed, while only homotopies that satisfy a corresponding cocycle condition can be considered. We define a functor $MH¹_R$ which describes the multiplicities of the imbeddings of the fibres into the bundle and assignment of multiplicity matrices to cocycles yields a natural transformation: $ΠH¹_R → MH¹_R$.
Chapter three finally gives some applications. We calculate $ΠH¹_R$ for C'-bundles over a two disk Tor an assignment of different finite dimensional fibres. The result is stated in terms of $MH¹_R$ and quotients of homotopy groups of bundle imbeddings. It provides a new way to describe the group C*-algebra of an interesting group called p4gm, which has been computed by I. Raeburn, and furthermore, our description yields complete invariants — in fact these are given by $MH¹_R$.
A last example involving bundles over a three ball with 3 different fibres shows the fact that $MH¹_R$ does not always provide complete invariants and at the same time illustrates the limits of our methods.
