Abstract/Résumé:

It is shown that for countably generated Hilbert C\(^*\)-modules over a C\(^*\)-algebra of stable rank one (i.e., a C\(^*\)-algebra in which the invertible elements are dense) the relation of compact inclusion up to isomorphism is cancellative, in a certain weak but natural sense. This generalizes the well-known fact that cancellation is valid in the abelian semigroup of isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective modules over such a C\(^*\)-algebra.

Il est démontré que la relation d’inclusion compacte entre modules de Hilbert dénombrablement engendrés sur une C\(^*\)-algèbre de rang stable égal à un est cancellative, dans un sens faible mais naturel. Ceci généralise un résultat bien connu pour le cas des modules projectifs finiment engendrés.
