Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce the notion of tracial approximate oscillation zero. Tracial approximate oscillation zero is a useful tool for proving certain C-algebras have stable rank one. Let A be a separable (not necessarily unital) simple C-algebra with strict comparison. We show that if A has tracial approximate oscillation zero, then A has stable rank one and the canonical map Γ from the Cuntz semigroup of A to the corresponding lower-semicontinuous affine function space is surjective. The converse also holds. As a by-product, we find that a separable simple C*-algebra which has almost stable rank one must have stable rank one, provided it has strict comparison and the canonical map Γ is surjective.
