We provide some background on the category of classifiable
C∗-algebras, whose objects are infinite-dimensional, simple,
separable, unital C∗-algebras that have finite nuclear dimension
and satisfy the universal coefficient theorem, and describe some applications
of the classification of objects in, and morphisms into, this category.Comment: These are lecture notes for the minicourse of the same name delivered
