Blackadar–Handelman density conjecture for dimension functions

Let AA be a CC^*-algebra. Write DF(A)DF(A) for the set of dimension functions on AA, and let LDF(A)LDF(A) denote the subset of lower semicontinuous dimension functions. Equip DF(A)DF(A) with the topology of pointwise convergence.

Blackadar–Handelman density conjecture. The set LDF(A)LDF(A) is dense in DF(A)DF(A).

This is the first of the two Blackadar–Handelman conjectures on dimension functions. The paper gives an equivalent condition for unital AA and proves the conjecture for all unital algebras with finite radius of comparison or almost unperforated Cuntz semigroup, but the statement is not resolved in full generality.
