We show that two cocycle-conjugate endomorphisms of an arbitrary von Neumann algebra that satisfy certain stability conditions are conjugate endomorphisms, when restricted to some specific von Neumann subalgebras. As a consequence of this result, we obtain a new criterion for conjugacy of Powers shift endomorphisms acting on factors of type $\rm{I}\sb{\infty}.$
We investigate $E_0-$semigroups on general factors, which are not necessarily of type I, and analyse associated invariants like product systems, super product systems etc. By tensoring $E_0-$semigroups on type I factors with $E_0-$semigroups on type II$_1$ factor, we produce several families (both countable and uncountable), consisting of mutually non-cocycle-conjugate of $E_0-$semigroups on the hyperfinite II$_\infty$ factor. Using CCR representations associated with quasi-free states, we construct for the first time, uncountable families consisting of mutually non-cocycle-conjugate $E_0-$sem…
We show that every binary shift on the hyperfinite $II_1$ factor $R$ is cocycle conjugate to at least countably many non-conjugate binary shifts. This holds in particular for binary shifts of infinite commutant index.
W. Arveson has described a cocycle conjugacy class $U(α)$ of $E_0$-semigroup $α$ on B(H) which is a factor of type $\rm I$. Under some conditions on $α$, there is a $E_0$-semigroup $β\in U(α)$ being a flow of shifts in the sence of R.T. Powers. We study quasifree endomorphisms semigroups $α$ on the hyperfinite factor $M=π(A(K))''$ generated by the representations $π$ of the algebra of canonical anticommutation relations A(K) over a separable Hilbert space K. The type of M can be $\rm I$, $\rm II$ or $\rm III$ depending on $π$. The cocycle conjugacy class $U(α)$ is described in the terms of ini…
We show that Bogoljubov actions of $\mathbb{R}$ on the free group factor $L(\mathbb{F}_{\infty})$ associated to sums of infinite multiplicity trivial and certain mixing representations are cocycle conjugate if and only if the underlying representations are conjugate.
We have seen that if ϕ: M_n(\C) \rightarrow M_n(\C) is a unital q-positive map and νis a type II Powers weight, then the boundary weight double (ϕ, ν) induces a unique (up to conjugacy) type II_0 E_0-semigroup. Let ϕ: M_n(\C) \rightarrow M_n(\C) and ψ: M_{n'}(\C) \rightarrow M_{n'}(\C) be unital rank one q-positive maps, so for some states ρ\in M_n(\C)^* and ρ' \in M_{n'}(\C)^*, we have ϕ(A)=ρ(A)I_n and ψ(D) = ρ'(D)I_{n'} for all A \in M_n(\C) and D \in M_{n'}(\C). We find that if νand ηare arbitrary type II Powers weights, then (ϕ, ν) and (ψ, η) induce non-cocycle conjugate E_0-semigroups if …
We prove that all strongly outer Z^N-actions on a UHF algebra of infinite type are strongly cocycle conjugate to each other. We also prove that all strongly outer, asymptotically representable Z^N-actions on a unital simple AH algebra with real rank zero, slow dimension growth and finitely many extremal tracial states are cocycle conjugate to each other.
Recently it is proved in arXiv:1906.05493v1 [math.OA] that CCR flows over convex cones are cocycle conjugate if and only if the associated isometric representations are conjugate. We provide a very short, simple and direct proof of that. Using the same idea we prove the analogous statement for CAR flows as well. Further we show that CCR flows are not cocycle conjugate to the CAR flows when the (multi-parameter) isometric representation is `proper', a condition which is satisfied by all known examples.
It is a well-known fact that endomorphisms of $B(H)$ are intimately connected with families of mutually orthogonal isometries, i.e. with representations of the so-called Toeplitz $C^*$-algebras. In this paper we consider a natural generalization of this connection between the representation theory of certain $C^*$-algebras associated to graphs and endomorphisms of certain von Neumann subalgebras of $B(H)$. Our primary results give criteria by which it may be determined if two representations give rise to equal or conjugate endomorphisms.
The gauge group is computed explicitly for a family of E_0-semigroups of type II_0 arising from the boundary weight double construction introduced earlier by Jankowski. This family contains many E_0-semigroups which are not cocycle cocycle conjugate to any examples whose gauge groups have been computed earlier. Further results are obtained regarding the classification up to cocycle conjugacy and up to conjugacy for boundary weight doubles $(ϕ, ν)$ in two separate cases: first in the case when $ϕ$ is unital, invertible and q-pure and $ν$ is any type II Powers weight, and secondly when $ϕ$ is a …
In our previous articles, we have presented a class of endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebras which are defined by polynomials of canonical generators and their conjugates. We showed the classification of some case under unitary equivalence by help of branching laws of permutative representations. In this article, we construct an automaton which is called the Mealy machine associated with the endomorphism in order to compute its branching law. We show that the branching law is obtained as outputs from the machine for the input of information of a given representation.
Let $(A, α)$ and $(B, β)$ be C*-dynamical systems where $α$ and $β$ are arbitrary *-endomorphisms. When $α$ is injective or surjective, we show that the semicrossed products $A \times_α\mathbb{Z}$ and $B \times_β\mathbb{Z}$ are isometrically isomorphic if and only if $(A, α)$ and $(B, β)$ are outer conjugate. This conclusion also holds in various other cases as well.
We give a complete classification up to cocycle conjugacy of uniformly outer actions of Z^2 on UHF algebras. In particular, it is shown that any two uniformly outer actions of Z^2 on a UHF algebra of infinite type are cocycle conjugate. We also classify them up to outer conjugacy.
Let $A$ be a unital separable simple amenable $C^*$-algebra with finite tracial rank which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT). Suppose $\af$ and $\bt$ are two automorphisms with the Rokhlin property that {induce the same action on the $K$-theoretical data of $A$.} We show that $\af$ and $\bt$ are strongly cocycle conjugate and uniformly approximately conjugate, that is, there exists a sequence of unitaries $\{u_n\}\subset A$ and a sequence of strongly asymptotically inner automorphisms $σ_n$ such that $$ \af={\rm Ad}\, u_n\circ σ_n\circ \bt\circ σ_n^{-1}\andeqn \lim_{n\to\infty}…
We consider a crossed product of a unital simple separable nuclear stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra A by a strongly outer cocycle action of a discrete countable amenable group Γ. Under the assumption that A has finitely many extremal tracial states and Γis elementary amenable, we show that the twisted crossed product C*-algebra is Z-stable. As an application, we also prove that all strongly outer cocycle actions of the Klein bottle group on Z are cocycle conjugate to each other. This is the first classification result for actions of non-abelian infinite groups on stably finite C*-algebras.
Product systems are the classifying structures for semigroups of endomorphisms of B(H), in that two $E_0$-semigroups are cocycle conjugate iff their product systems are isomorphic. Thus it is important to know that every abstract product system is associated with an $E_0$-semigrouop. This was first proved more than fifteen years ago by rather indirect methods. Recently, Skeide has given a more direct proof. In this note we give yet another proof by an elementary construction.
Let $X$ be the Cantor set and $ϕ$ be a minimal homeomorphism on $X\times\T$. We show that the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C^*(X\times\T,ϕ)$ is a simple $A\T$-algebra provided that the associated cocycle takes its values in rotations on $\T$. Given two minimal systems $(X\times\T,ϕ)$ and $(Y\times\T,ψ)$ such that $ϕ$ and $ψ$ arise from cocycles with values in isometric homeomorphisms on $\T$, we show that two systems are approximately $K$-conjugate when they have the same $K$-theoretical information.
The unital endomorphisms of B(H) of (Powers) index n are classified by certain U(n)-orbits in the set of non-degenerate representations of the Cuntz algebra O_n on H. Using this, the corre- sponding conjugacy classes are identified, and a set of labels is given. This set is given as P modulo a certain non-smooth equivalence, where P is a set of pure state on the UHF algebra of Glimm type n^infinity. Several subsets of P, giving concrete examples of non- conjugate shifts, are worked out in detail, including sets of product states, and a set of nearest neighbor states.
We consider Z-actions (single automorphisms) on a unital simple AH algebra with real rank zero and slow dimension growth and show that the uniform outerness implies the Rohlin property under some technical assumptions. Moreover, two Z-actions with the Rohlin property on such a C^*-algebra are shown to be cocycle conjugate if they are asymptotically unitarily equivalent. We also prove that locally approximately inner and uniformly outer Z^2-actions on a unital simple AF algebra with a unique trace have the Rohlin property and classify them up to cocycle conjugacy employing the OrderExt group as…
We study flows on C*-algebras with the Rokhlin property. We show that every Kirchberg algebra carries a unique Rokhlin flow up to cocycle conjugacy, which confirms a long-standing conjecture of Kishimoto. We moreover present a classification theory for Rokhlin flows on C*-algebras satisfying certain technical properties, which hold for many C*-algebras covered by the Elliott program. As a consequence, we obtain the following further classification theorems for Rokhlin flows. Firstly, we extend the statement of Kishimoto's conjecture to the non-simple case: Up to cocycle conjugacy, a Rokhlin fl…
We study graph $C^*$-algebras equipped with generalised gauge actions, and characterise in terms of groupoids and groupoid cocycles when two graph $C^*$-algebras are isomorphic by a diagonal-preserving isomorphism that intertwines the generalised gauge actions. We apply this characterisation to show that two Cuntz-Krieger algebras are isomorphic by a diagonal-preserving isomorphism that intertwines the gauge actions if and only if the corresponding one-sided subshifts are eventually conjugate, and that the stabilisation of two Cuntz-Krieger algebras are isomorphic by a diagonal-preserving isom…
We introduce and study strongly self-absorbing actions of locally compact groups on C*-algebras. This is an equivariant generalization of a strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra to the setting of C*-dynamical systems. The main result is the following equivariant McDuff-type absorption theorem: A cocycle action $(α,u): G\curvearrowright A$ on a separable C*-algebra is cocycle conjugate to its tensorial stabilization with a strongly self-absorbing action $γ: G\curvearrowright\mathcal{D}$, if and only if there exists an equivariant and unital $*$-homomorphism from $\mathcal{D}$ into the central sequ…
We prove that a crossed product algebra arising from a minimal dynamical system on the product of the Cantor set and the circle has real rank zero if and only if that system is rigid. In the case that cocycles take values in the rotation group, it is also shown that rigidity implies tracial rank zero, and in particular, the crossed product algebra is isomorphic to a unital simple AT-algebra of real rank zero. Under the same assumption, we show that two systems are approximately $K$-conjugate if and only if there exists a sequence of isomorphisms between two associated crossed products which ap…
Let $Λ$ be a countably infinite property (T) group, and let $D$ be UHF-algebra of infinite type. We prove that there exists a continuum of pairwise non (weakly) cocycle conjugate, strongly outer actions of $Λ$ on $D$. The proof consists in assigning, to any second countable abelian pro-$p$ group $G$, a strongly outer action of $Λ$ on $D$ whose (weak) cocycle conjugacy class completely remembers the group $G$. The group $G$ is reconstructed from the action through its (weak) 1-cohomology set endowed with a canonical pairing function. Our construction also shows the following stronger statement:…
It is known that every semigroup of normal completely positive maps of a von Neumann can be ``dilated" in a particular way to an E_0-semigroup acting on a larger von Neumann algebra. The E_0-semigroup is not uniquely determined by the completely positive semigroup; however, it is unique (up to conjugacy) provided that certain conditions of {\it minimality} are met. Minimality is a subtle property, and it is often not obvious if it is satisfied for specific examples even in the simplest case where the von Neumann algebra is $\Cal B(H)$. In this paper we clarify these issues by giving a new char…
This paper studies the relationship between minimal dynamical systems on the product of the Cantor set ($X$) and torus ($\T^2$) and their corresponding crossed product $C^*$-algebras. For the case when the cocycles are rotations, we studied the structure of the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $A$ by looking at a large subalgebra $A_x$. It is proved that, as long as the cocycles are rotations, the tracial rank of the crossed product $C^*$-algebra is always no more than one, which then indicates that it falls into the category of classifiable $C^*$-algebras. If a certain rigidity condition is sati…
The notion of textile system was introduced by M. Nasu in order to analyze endomorphisms and automorphisms of topological Markov shifts. A textile system is given by two finite directed graphs $G$ and $H$ and two morphisms $p,q:G\to H$, with some extra properties. It turns out that a textile system determines a first quadrant two-dimensional shift of finite type, via a collection of Wang tiles, and conversely, any such shift is conjugate to a textile shift. In the case the morphisms $p$ and $q$ have the path lifting property, we prove that they induce groupoid morphisms $π, ρ:Γ(G)\to Γ(H)$ bet…
