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.

1 Introduction. We consider the class of Noetherian ring, appeared as a result of quantization of algebraic groups and their representations within framework of mathematical physics. One set up the problem of description of prime and primitive spectrum of these rings. This problem has been solved first for algebras of low dimension , then for the case GL q (n), later for general case of regular...

This paper is devoted to deformation theory of "anabelian" representations of the absolute Galois group landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group of a hyperbolic smooth curve defined over a number-field. In the first part of this paper, we obtained several universal deformations for Lie-algebra versions of the above representation using the Schlessinger criteria for...

Let X be a finite, n-dimensional, r-connected CW complex. We prove the following theorem: If p ≥ n/r is an odd prime, then the loop space homology Bockstein spectral sequence modulo p is a spectral sequence of universal enveloping algebras over differential graded Lie algebras.

We give a classification theorem for unital separable simple nuclear C∗-algebras with tracial topological rank zero which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. We prove that if A and B are two such C∗-algebras and (K0(A),K0(A)+, [1A], K1(A)) = (K0(B), K0(B)+, [1B ], K1(B)), then A = B.

We study in how far it is possible to reconstruct a graph from various Banach algebras associated to its universal covering, and extensions thereof to quantum statistical mechanical systems. It turns out that most the boundary operator algebras reconstruct only topological information, but the statistical mechanical point of view allows for complete reconstruction of multigraphs with minimal de...

An embedding question for full (i.e. universal) amalgamated free products of C∗–algebras is raised, and solved in part. This is used to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the full amalgamated free product of finite dimensional C∗–algebras to be residually finite dimensional.

We prove an analogue of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem and of the Cartier-Milnor-Moore theorem for non-cocommutative Hopf algebras. The primitive part of a cofree Hopf algebra is a B∞-algebra. We construct a universal enveloping functor U2 from B∞-algebras to 2-associative algebras, i.e. algebras equipped with two associative operations. We show that any cofree Hopf algebra H is of the form...

First order formulas in a relational signature can be considered as operations on the relations of an underlying set, giving rise to multisorted algebras we call first order algebras. We present universal axioms so that an algebra satisfies the axioms iff it embeds into a first order algebra. Importantly, our argument is modular and also works for, e.g., the positive existential algebras (where...

We propose the notion of flocks, which formerly were introduced only in based algebras, for any universal algebra. This generalization keeps the main properties we know from vector spaces, e.g. a closure system that extends the subalgebra one. It comes from the idempotent elementary functions, we call “interpolators”, that in case of vector spaces merely are linear functions with normalized coe...
