Abstract

We establish a connection between Rokhlin dimension and the absorption of certain model actions on strongly self-absorbing $C^{*}$ -algebras. Namely, as to be made precise in the paper, let $G$ be a well-behaved locally compact group. If $D$ is a strongly self-absorbing $C^{*}$ -algebra and $α : G ↷ A$ is an action on a separable, $D$ -absorbing $C^{*}$ -algebra that has finite Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers, then $α$ tensorially absorbs every semi-strongly self-absorbing $G$ -action on $D$ . In particular, this is the case when $α$ satisfies any version of what is called the Rokhlin property, such as for $G = ℝ$ or $G = ℤ^{k}$ . This contains several existing results of similar nature as special cases. We will in fact prove a more general version of this theorem, which is intended for use in subsequent work. We will then discuss some nontrivial applications. Most notably it is shown that for any $k \geq 1$ and on any strongly self-absorbing Kirchberg algebra, there exists a unique $ℝ^{k}$ -action having finite Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers up to (very strong) cocycle conjugacy.
