In this paper, we consider the gauge-invariant ideal structure of a $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{B})$ associated to a set-finite, receiver set-finite and weakly left-resolving labelled space $(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{B})$, where $\mathcal{L}$ is a labelling map assigning an alphabet to each edge of the directed graph $E$ with no sinks. Under the assumption that an accommodating set $\mathcal{B}$ is closed under taking relative complement, it is obtained that there is a one to one correspondence between the set of all hereditary saturated subsets of $\mathcal{B}$ and the gauge-invariant ideals of $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{B})$. For this, we introduce a quotient labelled space $(E,\mathcal{L},[\mathcal{B}]_R)$ arising from an equivalence relation $\sim_R$ on $\mathcal{B}$ and show the existence of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},[\mathcal{B}]_R)$ generated by a universal representation of $(E,\mathcal{L},[\mathcal{B}]_R)$. Also the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem for $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},[\mathcal{B}]_R)$ is obtained.
For simple labelled graph $C^*$-algebras $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\bar{\mathcal{E}})$, where $\bar{\mathcal{E}}$ is the smallest accommodating set containing all the generalized vertices, it is observed that if for each vertex $v$ of $E$, a generalized vertex $[v]_l$ is finite for some $l$, then $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\bar{\mathcal{E}})$ is simple if and only if $(E,\mathcal{L},\bar{\mathcal{E}})$ is strongly cofinal and disagreeable. This is done by examining the merged labelled graph $(F,\mathcal{L}_F)$ of $(E,\mathcal{L})$ and the common properties that $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\bar{\mathcal{E}})$ and $C^*(F,\mathcal{L},\bar{\mathcal{F}})$ share.
Given a directed graph $E$ and a labeling $\mathcal{L}$, one forms the labelled graph $C^*$-algebra by taking a weakly left--resolving labelled space $(E, \mathcal{L}, \mathcal{B})$ and considering a universal generating family of partial isometries and projections. In this paper we provide characterization for primitive ideals of labelled graph $C^*$-algebras.
We produce a complete descrption of the lattice of gauge-invariant ideals in $C^*(Λ)$ for a finitely aligned $k$-graph $Λ$. We provide a condition on $Λ$ under which every ideal is gauge-invariant. We give conditions on $Λ$ under which $C^*(Λ)$ satisfies the hypotheses of the Kirchberg-Phillips classification theorem.
In this paper we give a formula for the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space. This is done by realising the $C^*$-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a $C^*$-correspondence. As a corollary we get a gauge invariant uniqueness theorem for the $C^*$-algebra of any weakly left-resolving labelled space. In order to achieve this we must modify the definition of the $C^*$-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space. We also establish strong connections between the various classes of $C^*$-algebras which are assoc…
We enlarge the class of $C^*$-algebras of Boolean dynamical systems in order to include all weakly left-resolving normal labelled space $C^*$-algebras in it. We prove a gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and classify all gauge-invariant ideals of these $C^*$-algebras of generalized Boolean dynamical systems and describe the corresponding quotients as $C^*$-algebras of relative generalized Boolean dynamical systems.
Let $C^*(E)$ be the graph C$^*$-algebra of a row-finite graph $E$. We give a complete description of the vertex sets of the gauge-invariant regular ideals of $C^*(E)$. It is shown that when $E$ satisfies Condition (L) the regular ideals $C^*(E)$ are a class of gauge-invariant ideals which preserve Condition (L) under quotients. That is, we show that if $E$ satisfies Condition (L) then a regular ideal $J \unlhd C^*(E)$ is necessarily gauge-invariant. Further, if $J \unlhd C^*(E)$ is a regular ideal, it is shown that $C^*(E)/J \simeq C^*(F)$ where $F$ satisfies Condition (L).
We classify the gauge-invariant ideals in the C*-algebras of infinite directed graphs, and describe the quotients as graph algebras. We then use these results to identify the gauge-invariant primitive ideals in terms of the structural properties of the graph, and describe the K-theory of the C*-algebras of arbitrary infinite graphs.
We describe the primitive ideal space of the $C^{\ast}$-algebra of a row-finite $k$-graph with no sources when every ideal is gauge invariant. We characterize which spectral spaces can occur, and compute the primitive ideal space of two examples. In order to do this we prove some new results on aperiodicity. Our computations indicate that when every ideal is gauge invariant, the primitive ideal space only depends on the 1-skeleton of the $k$-graph in question.
We study the ideal structure of $C^*$-algebras arising from $C^*$-correspondences. We prove that gauge-invariant ideals of our $C^*$-algebras are parameterized by certain pairs of ideals of original $C^*$-algebras. We show that our $C^*$-algebras have a nice property which should be possessed by generalization of crossed products. Applications to crossed products by Hilbert $C^*$-bimodules and relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras are also discussed.
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be an ultragraph and let $C^*(\mathcal{G})$ be the associated $C^*$-algebra introduced by Mark Tomforde. For any gauge invariant ideal $I_{(H,B)}$ of $C^*(\mathcal{G})$, we approach the quotient $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\mathcal{G})/I_{(H,B)}$ by the $C^*$-algebra of finite graphs and prove versions of gauge invariant and Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorems for it. We then describe primitive gauge invariant ideals and determine purely infinite ultragraph $C^*$-algebras (in the sense of Kirchberg-R$ø$rdam) via Fell bundles.
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be an ultragraph and let $C^*(\mathcal{G})$ be the associated $C^*$-algebra introduced by Mark Tomforde. For any gauge invariant ideal $I_{(H,B)}$ of $C^*(\mathcal{G})$, we analyze the structure of the quotient $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\mathcal{G})/I_{(H,B)}$. For simplicity's sake, we first introduce the notion of quotient ultragraph $\mathcal{G}/(H,B)$ and an associated $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\mathcal{G}/(H,B))$ such that $C^*(\mathcal{G}/(H,B))\cong C^*(\mathcal{G})/I_{(H,B)}$. We then prove the gauge invariant and the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorems for $C^*(\mathcal{G}/(H,B))$ a…
We investigate the ideal structures of the C^*-algebras arising from topological graphs. We give the complete description of ideals of such C^*-algebras which are invariant under the so-called gauge action, and give the condition on topological graphs so that all ideals are invariant under the gauge action. We get conditions for our C^*-algebras to be simple, prime or primitive. We completely determine the prime ideals, and show that most of them are primitive. Finally, we construct a discrete graph such that the associated C^*-algebra is prime but not primitive.
We introduce and analyse the structure of C*-algebras arising from ideals in right tensor C*-precategories, which naturally generalize both relative Cuntz-Pimsner and Doplicher-Roberts algebras. We establish an explicit intrinsic construction of the considered algebras and a number of key results such as structure theorem, gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem or description of the gauge-invariant ideal structure. In particular, these statements give a new insight into the corresponding results for relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras and are applied to Doplicher-Roberts associated to C*-correspondenc…
In the first part of the paper, we develop a theory of crossed products of a $C^*$-algebra $A$ by an arbitrary (not necessarily extendible) endomorphism $α:A\to A$. We consider relative crossed products $C^*(A,α;J)$ where $J$ is an ideal in $A$, and describe up to Morita-Rieffel equivalence all gauge invariant ideals in $C^*(A,α;J)$ and give six term exact sequences determining their $K$-theory. We also obtain certain criteria implying that all ideals in $C^*(A,α;J)$ are gauge invariant, and that $C^*(A,α;J)$ is purely infinite. In the second part, we consider a situation where $A$ is a $C_0(X…
To each finitely aligned higher-rank graph $Λ$ and each $\mathbb{T}$-valued 2-cocycle on $Λ$, we associate a family of twisted relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras. We show that each of these algebras carries a gauge action, and prove a gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem. We describe an isomorphism between the fixed point algebras for the gauge actions on the twisted and untwisted relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras. We show that the quotient of a twisted relative Cuntz-Krieger algebra by a gauge-invariant ideal is canonically isomorphic to a twisted relative Cuntz-Krieger algebra associated to a subgr…
We show that the graph construction used to prove that a gauge-invariant ideal of a graph C*-algebra is isomorphic to a graph C*-algebra, and also used to prove that a graded ideal of a Leavitt path algebra is isomorphic to a Leavitt path algebra, is incorrect as stated in the literature. We give a new graph construction to remedy this problem, and prove that it can be used to realize a gauge-invariant ideal (respectively, a graded ideal) as a graph C*-algebra (respectively, a Leavitt path algebra).
We give a vertex set description for basic, graded, regular ideals of locally-convex Kumjian-Pask Algebras. We also show that Condition (B) is preserved when taking the quotient by a basic, graded, regular ideal. We further show that when a locally-convex, row-finite k-graph satisfies Condition (B), all regular ideals are graded. We then show the same things hold for gauge-invariant, regular ideals in locally-convex k-graph C*-algebras.
Given a closed ideal I in a C*-algebra A, an ideal J (not necessarily closed) in I, a *-homomorphism \al:A --> M(I) and a map L:J --> A with some properties, based on [3] and [9] we define a C*-algebra O(A,\al,L) which we call the "Crossed Product by a Partial Endomorphism." In the second section we introduce the Crossed Product by a Partial Endomorphism O(X,\al,L) induced by a local homeomorphism σ:U --> X where X is a compact Hausdorff space and U is an open subset of X.The main result of this section is that every nonzero gauge invariant ideal of O(X,\al,L) has nonzero intersection with C(X…
In this paper we generalize the notion of a $k$-graph into (countable) infinite rank. We then define our $C^*$-algebra in a similar way as in $k$-graph $C^*$-algebras. With this construction we are able to find analogues to the Gauge Invariant Uniqueness and Cuntz-Krieger Uniqueness Theorems. We also show that the $\mathbb{N}$-graph $C^*$-algebras can be viewed as the inductive limit of $k$-graph $C^*$-algebras. This gives a nice way to describe the gauge-invariant ideal structure. Additionally, we describe the vertex-set for regular gauge-invariant ideals of our $N$-graph $C^*$-algebras. We t…
In this paper, we describe primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(Λ)$ associated to any locally convex row-finite $k$-graph $Λ$. To do this, we will apply the Farthing's desourcifying method on a recent result of Carlsen, Kang, Shotwell, and Sims. We also characterize certain maximal ideals of $C^*(Λ)$. Furthermore, we study the decomposability of $C^*(Λ)$. We apply the description of primitive ideals to show that if $I$ is a direct summand of $C^*(Λ)$, then it is gauge-invariant and isomorphic to a certain $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra. So, we may characterize decomposable higher-rank $C^*…
Let $(G, Λ)$ be a self-similar $k$-graph with a possibly infinite vertex set $Λ^0$. We associate a universal C*-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{G,Λ}$ to $(G,Λ)$. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the ideal structures of $\mathcal{O}_{G,Λ}$. We prove that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all $G$-hereditary and $G$-saturated subsets of $Λ^0$ and the set of all gauge-invariant and diagonal-invariant ideals of $\mathcal{O}_{G,Λ}$. Under some conditions, we characterize all primitive ideas of $\mathcal{O}_{G,Λ}$. Moreover, we describe the Jacobson topology of some co…
