Traces and the nonunital circle

I will discuss the prospect of classifying, via traces, *-homomorphisms from C_0(0,1) to certain stably projectionless C*-algebras with trivial K_1. I will explain how to use such a result to study unitary orbits of unitaries in simple Z-stable algebras and also perhaps how one might prove tensorial self-absorption of the stably finite analogue of O_2.
