Cuntz-Krieger-Pimsner Algebras Associated with Amalgamated Free Product Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a construction of a nuclear C∗-algebra associated with an amalgamated free product of groups, generalizing Spielberg’s construction of a certain Cuntz-Krieger algebra associated with a finitely generated free product of cyclic groups. Our nuclear C∗-algebras can be identified with certain Cuntz-Krieger-Pimsner algebras. We will also show that our algebras can be obtained by the crossed product construction of the canonical actions on the hyperbolic boundaries, which proves a special case of Adams’ result about amenability of the boundary action for hyperbolic groups. We will also give an explicit formula of the K-groups of our algebras. Finally we will investigate the relationship between the KMS states of the generalized gauge actions on our C∗ algebras and random walks on the groups.

Cuntz-Pimsner C-algebras associated with subshifts
By using C∗-correspondences and Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, we associate to every subshift (also called a shift space) X a C∗-algebra OX, which is a generalization of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras. We show that OX is the universal C ∗-algebra generated by partial isometries satisfying relations given by X. We also show thatOX is a one-sided conjugacy invariant of X.
متن کاملKms States of Quasi-free Dynamics on Pimsner Algebras
A continuous one-parameter group of unitary isometries of a right-Hilbert C*bimodule induces a quasi-free dynamics on the Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebra of the bimodule and on its Toeplitz extension. The restriction of such a dynamics to the algebra of coefficients of the bimodule is trivial, and the corresponding KMS states of the Toeplitz-Cuntz-Pimsner and Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras are characterize...
متن کاملA Class of Limit Algebras Associated with Directed Graphs
Every directed graph defines a Hilbert space and a family of weighted shifts that act on the space. We identify a natural notion of periodicity for such shifts and study their C∗algebras. We prove the algebras generated by all shifts of a fixed period are of Cuntz-Krieger and Toeplitz-Cuntz-Krieger type. The limit C∗-algebras determined by an increasing sequence of positive integers, each divid...
متن کاملOn Certain Cuntz-pimsner Algebras
Let A be a separable unital C*-algebra and let π : A → L(H) be a faithful representation of A on a separable Hilbert space H such that π(A) ∩ K(H) = {0}. We show that OE , the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra associated to the Hilbert A-bimodule E = H⊗C A, is simple and purely infinite. If A is nuclear and belongs to the bootstrap class to which the UCT applies, then the same applies to OE . Hence by the ...
متن کاملOn the K-Theory of Cuntz-Krieger Algebras
We extend the uniqueness and simplicity results of Cuntz and Krieger to the countably infinite case, under a row-finite condition on the matrix A. Then we present a new approach to calculating the K-theory of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras, using the gauge action of T, which also works when A is a countably infinite 0 − 1 matrix. This calculation uses a dual Pimsner-Voiculescu six-term exact sequen...
