Iteration of a rational function $R$ gives a complex dynamical system on the Riemann sphere. We introduce a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal O}_R$ associated with $R$ as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a Hilbert bimodule over the algebra $A = C(J_R)$ of continuous functions on the Julia set $J_R$ of $R$. The algebra ${\mathcal O}_R$ is a certain analog of the crossed product by a boundary action. We show that if the degree of $R$ is at least two, then $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal O}_R$ is simple and purely infinite. For example if $R(z) = z^2 - 2$, then the Julia set $J_R = [-2,2]$ and the restriction $R : J_R \to J_R$ is topologically conjugate to the tent map on $[0,1]$. The algebra ${\mathcal O}_{z^2 - 2}$ is isomorphic to the Cuntz algebra ${\mathcal O}_{\infty}$. We also show that the Lyubich measure associated with $R$ gives a unique KMS state on the $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal O}_R$ for the gauge action at inverse temperature $\log (°R)$ if the Julia set contains no critical points.
Extending the work of Cuntz and Vershik, we develop a general notion of independence for commuting group endomorphisms. Based on this concept, we initiate the study of irreversible algebraic dynamical systems, which can be thought of as irreversible analogues of the dynamical systems considered by Schmidt. To each irreversible algebraic dynamical system, we associate a universal C*-algebra and show that it is a UCT Kirchberg algebra under natural assumptions. Moreover, we discuss the structure of the core subalgebra, which is closely related to generalised Bunce-Deddens algebras in the sense o…
We introduce algebraic dynamical systems, which consist of an action of a right LCM semigroup by injective endomorphisms of a group. To each algebraic dynamical system we associate a C*-algebra and describe it as a semigroup C*-algebra. As part of our analysis of these C*-algebras we prove results for right LCM semigroups. More precisely we discuss functoriality of the full semigroup C*-algebra and compute its K-theory for a large class of semigroups. We introduce the notion of a Nica-Toeplitz algebra of a product system over a right LCM semigroup, and show that it provides a useful alternativ…
This paper is a survey of our recent work on operator algebras associated to dynamical systems that lead to classification results for the systems in terms of algebraic invariants of the operator algebras.
We associate to each discrete partial dynamical system a universal C*-algebra generated by partial isometries satisfying relations given by a Boolean algebra connected to the discrete partial dynamical system in question. We show that for symbolic dynamical systems like one-sided and two-sided shift spaces and topological Markov chains with an arbitrary state space the C*-algebras usually associated to them, can be obtained in this way. As a consequence of this, we will be able to show that for two-sided shift spaces having a certain property, the crossed product of the two-sided shift space i…
A $C^*$-symbolic dynamical system $({\cal A}, ρ, Σ)$ is a finite family $\{ρ_α\}_{α\inΣ}$ of endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra ${\cal A}$ with some conditions. It yields a $C^*$-algebra ${\cal O}_ρ$ from an associated Hilbert $C^*$-bimodule. In this paper, we will extend the notion of $C^*$-symbolic dynamical system to $C^*$-textile dynamical system $({\cal A}, ρ, η, {Σ^ρ}, {Σ^η}, κ)$ which consists of two $C^*$-symbolic dynamical systems $({\cal A}, ρ, {Σ^ρ})$ and $({\cal A}, η, {Σ^η})$ with certain commutation relations $κ$ between their endomorphisms $\{ρ_α\}_{α\in Σ^ρ}$ and $\{η_a \}_{a \in…
We define a semidirect product groupoid of a system of partially defined local homeomorphisms $T=(T_{1},..., T_{r})$. We prove that this construction gives rise to amenable groupoids. The associated algebra is a Cuntz-like algebra. We use this construction for higher rank graph algebras in order to give a topological interpretation for the duality in $E$-theory between $C^{*}(Λ)$ and $C^{*}(Λ^{op})$.
Let $R$ be a rational function. The iterations $(R^n)_n$ of $R$ gives a complex dynamical system on the Riemann sphere. We associate a $C^*$-algebra and study a relation between the $C^*$-algebra and the original complex dynamical system. In this short note, we recover the number of $n$-th backward orbits counted without multiplicity starting at branched points in terms of associated $C^*$-algebras with gauge actions. In particular, we can partially imagine how a branched point is moved to another branched point under the iteration of $R$. We use KMS states and a Perron-Frobenius type operator…
We define the local multiplier module of a Hilbert module in analogy to the local multiplier algebra for $C^*$-algebras. We use properties of the local multiplier module to lift non-closed actions on $C^*$-algebras by Hilbert bimodules to closed actions on local multiplier algebras, and descend known results on such closed actions down to their unclosed counterparts. We define aperiodic dynamical inclusions and characterise them as crossed products by inverse semigroup actions. We describe the slice structure for such inclusions and show that all slices arise as linear combinations of slices a…

A $C^*$-textile dynamical system $({\cal A}, ρ,η,Σ^ρ,Σ^η, κ)$ connsists of a unital $C^*$-algebra ${\cal A}$, two families of endomorphisms ${ρ_α}_{α\in Σ^ρ}$ and ${η_a}_{a \in Σ^η}$ of ${\cal A}$ and certain commutation relations $κ$ among them. It yields a two-dimensional subshift and multi structure of Hilbert $C^*$-bimodules, which we call a Hilbert $C^*$-quad module. We introduce a $C^*$-algebra from the Hilbert $C^*$-quad module as a two-dimensional analogue of Pimsner's construction of $C^*$-algebras from Hilbert $C^*$-bimodules. We study the $C^*$-algebras defined by the Hilbert $C^*$-…
Let $p(z,w)$ be a polynomial in two variables. We call the solution of the algebraic equation $p(z,w) = 0$ the algebraic correspondence. We regard it as the graph of the multivalued function $z \mapsto w$ defined implicitly by $p(z,w) = 0$. Algebraic correspondences on the Riemann sphere $\hat{\mathbb C}$ give a generalization of dynamical systems of Klein groups and rational functions. We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated with algebraic correspondences on the Riemann sphere. We show that if an algebraic correspondence is free and expansive on a closed $p$-invariant subset $J$ of $\hat{\math…
The general class of the graded Lie algebras is defined. These algebras could be constructed using an arbitrary dynamical systems with discrete time and with invarinat measure. In this papers we consider the case of the central extension of Lie algebras which corresponds to the ordinary crossed product (as associative algebra) - series A. The structure of those Lie algebras is similar to Kac-Moody algebras, and these are a special case of so called algebras with continuous root system which were introduced by author with M.Saveliev in 90-th. The central extension open a new possibilty in algeb…
In this paper, we realize C*-algebras of generalized Boolean dynamical systems as partial crossed products. Reciprocally, we give some sufficient conditions for a partial crossed product to be isomorphic to a C*-algebra of a generalized Boolean dynamical system. As an application, we show that gauge-invariant ideals of C*-algebras of generalized Boolean dynamical systems are themselves C*-algebras of generalized Boolean dynamical system.
In this paper, we show that the generalized fixed-point algebra of a proper groupoid dynamical system, under certain assumptions, may be fibered over any locally compact Hausdorff space to which a continuous map exists from the unit space of the underlying groupoid. We will also provide some important examples.
We have introduced a notion of $C^*$-symbolic dynamical system in [K. Matsumoto: Actions of symbolic dynamical systems on $C^*$-algebras, to appear in J. Reine Angew. Math.], that is a finite family of endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra with some conditions. The endomorphisms are indexed by symbols and yield both a subshift and a $C^*$-algebra of a Hilbert $C^*$-bimodule. The associated $C^*$-algebra with the $C^*$-symbolic dynamical system is regarded as a crossed product by the subshift. We will study a simplicity condition of the $C^*$-algebras of the $C^*$-symbolic dynamical systems. Some ex…
A Fejér-type theorem is proved within the framework of $C^*$-algebras associated with certain irreversible algebraic dynamical systems. This makes it possible to strengthen a result on the structure of the relative commutant of a family of generating isometries in a boundary quotient.
In this paper, we show that the set of all ideals of the C*-algebras of a singly generated dynamical system corresponds bijectively to the set of all subsets of the product of the space of the system and the circle satisfying three conditions.
Pure infiniteness (in sense of E.Kirchberg and M.Rørdam) is considered for C*-algebras arising from singly generated dynamical systems. In particular, Cuntz-Krieger algebras and their generalizations, i.e., graph-algebras and O_A of an infinite matrix A, admit characterizations of pure infiniteness. As a consequence, these generalized Cuntz-Krieger algebras are traceless if and only if they are purely infinite. Also, a characterization of AF-algebras among these C*-algebras is given. In the case of graph-algebras of locally finite graphs, characterizations of stability are obtained.
We resolve the isomorphism problem for tensor algebras of unital multivariable dynamical systems. Specifically we show that unitary equivalence after a conjugation for multivariable dynamical systems is a complete invariant for complete isometric isomorphisms between their tensor algebras. In particular, this settles a conjecture of Davidson and Kakariadis relating to work of Arveson from the sixties, and extends related work of Kakariadis and Katsoulis.
In this survey, we study the relations between amenability (resp. amenability at infinity) of C*-dynamical systems and equality or nuclearity (resp. exactness) of the corresponding crossed products.
We use a characterization of the graph C*-algebras C*(E) as the Stacey crossed product C*(E)^γ\times_{β_E} N, to study its ideal properties in terms of the (non-classical) C*-dynamical system (C*(E)^γ, β_E)
Practically and intrinsically, inclusions of operator algebras are of fundamental interest. The subject of this paper is intermediate operator algebras of inclusions. There are two previously known theorems which naturally and completely describe all intermediate operator algebras: the Galois Correspondence Theorem and the Tensor Splitting Theorem. Here we establish the third, new complete description theorem which gives a canonical bijective correspondence between intermediate operator algebras and intermediate extensions of dynamical systems. One can also regard this theorem as a crossed pro…
The goal of these notes is to present the C*-algebra $C^*(B,L,θ)$ of a Boolean dynamical system $(B,L,θ)$, that generalizes the $C^*$-algebra associated to Labelled graphs introduced by Bates and Pask, and to determine its simplicity, its gauge invariant ideals, as well as compute its K-Theory
We describe (infinite-dimensional) irreducible representations of the crossed product C$^*$-algebra associated with a topological dynamical system (based on $Z$) and we show that their restrictions to the underling $\ell^1$-Banach $*$-algebra are not algebraically irreducible under mild conditions on the dynamical system. The above description of irreducible representations has two ingredients, ergodic measures on the space and ergodic extensions for the tensor product with type I factors; the latter which may not have been explicitly taken up before will be explored by examples. A new class o…
Connections between partial dynamcial systems, a generalized notion of partial dynamical systems defined by nested sequences of partial homeomorphisms, and triangular AF algebras which admit an integer-valued cocycle are established.
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.
We obtain a characterization in terms of dynamical systems of those r-discrete groupoids for which the groupoid C*-algebra is approximately finite-dimensional (AF). These ideas are then used to compute the K-theory for AF algebras by utilizing the actions of these partial homeomorphisms, and these K-theoretic calculations are applied to some specific examples of AF algebras. Finally, we show that, for a certain class of dimension groups, a groupoid can be obtained directly from the dimension group's structure whose associated C*-algebra has K_0 group isomorphic to the original dimension group.
We examine the theory of the KMS states on Pimsner algebras arising from multivariable unital C*-dynamical systems. As an application we show that Pimsner algebras of piecewise conjugate classical systems attain the same KMS states, even though it is still an open problem whether or not they are $*$-isomorphic.
We carry out a careful study of operator algebras associated with Delone dynamical systems. A von Neumann algebra is defined using noncommutative integration theory. Features of these algebras and the operators they contain are discussed. We restrict our attention to a certain subalgebra to discuss a Shubin trace formula.
We characterize when there exists a diagonal preserving $*$-isomorphism between two graph $C^*$-algebras in terms of the dynamics of the boundary path spaces. In particular, we refine the notion of "orbit equivalence" between the boundary path spaces of the directed graphs $E$ and $F$ and show that this is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a diagonal preserving $*$-isomorphism between the graph $C^*$-algebras $C^*(E)$ and $C^*(F)$.
We introduce a type of zero-dimensional dynamical system (a pair consisting of a totally disconnected compact metrizable space along with a homeomorphism of that space), which we call "fiberwise essentially minimal", and we prove that the associated crossed product $ C^* $-algebra of such a system is an AT-algebra. Under the additional assumption that the system has no periodic points, we prove that the associated crossed product $ C^* $-algebra has real rank zero, which tells us that such $ C^* $-algebras are classifiable by $ K $-theory. We show that the definition of fiberwise essentially m…
We continue our study of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra associated to a twisted (unital, discrete) C*-dynamical system and discuss how the various notions of equivalence of such systems are reflected at the algebra-level. As an application, we show that the amenability of a system, as defined in our previous work, is preserved under Morita equivalence.
We examine Nica-Pimsner algebras associated with semigroup actions of $\mathbb{Z}_+^n$ on a C*-algebra $A$ by $*$-endomorphisms. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the dynamics for exactness and nuclearity of the Nica-Pimsner algebras. Furthermore we parameterize the KMS states at finite temperature by the tracial states on $A$. A parametrization is also shown for KMS states at zero temperature (resp. ground states) by the tracial states on $A$ (resp. states on $A$). Finally we give a formula for obtaining tracial states on the Nica-Pimsner algebras.
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.
In this paper, we consider the Toeplitz algebra associated to actions of Ore semigroups on $C^{*}$-algebras. In particular, we consider injective and surjective actions of such semigroups. We use the theory of groupoid dynamical systems to represent the Toeplitz algebra as a groupoid crossed product. We also discuss the K-theory of the Toeplitz algebra in some examples. For instance, we show that for the semigroup of positive matrices, the K-theory of the associated Toeplitz algebra vanishes.
We introduce notions of dimension and dynamical entropy for unital C*-algebras ``metrized'' by means of c-Lip-norms, which are complex-scalar versions of the Lip-norms constitutive of Rieffel's compact quantum metric spaces. Our examples involve UHF algebras and noncommutative tori. In particular we show that the entropy of a noncommutative toral automorphism with respect to the canonical c-Lip-norm coincides with the topological entropy of its commutative analogue.
We prove that the crossed product Banach algebra $\ell^1(G,A;α)$ that is associated with a ${\mathrm C}^\ast$-dynamical system $(A,G,α)$ is amenable if $G$ is a discrete amenable group and $A$ is a strongly amenable ${\mathrm C}^\ast$-algebra. This is a consequence of the combination of a more general result with Paterson's characterisation of strongly amenable unital $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebras in terms of invariant means for their unitary groups.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a dual topological graph of a given topological graph, and show that it defines a C*-algebra isomorphic to the C*-algebra of the given one. Repeating to take a dual, and taking a projective limit, we get a singly generated dynamical system with which the associate C*-algebra is isomorphic to the C*-algebra of the given topological graph. This shows that a C*-algebra of an arbitrary topoloical graph has a groupoid model. Similar investigation are done for relative topoloical graphs and partially defined topoloical graphs which are introduced in this pap…
We show that every topological k-graph constructed from a locally compact Hausdorff space Ω and a family of pairwise commuting local homeomorphisms on Ω satisfying a uniform boundedness condition on the cardinalities of inverse images may be realized as a semigroup crossed product in the sense of Larsen.
Evans-Hudson flows are constructed for a class of quantum dynamical semigroups with unbounded generator on UHF algebras, which appeared in \cite{Ma}. It is shown that these flows are unital and covariant. Ergodicity of the flows for the semigroups associated with partial states is also discussed.
From a planar algebra, we give a functorial construction to produce numerous associated $C^*$-algebras. Our main construction is a Hilbert $C^*$-bimodule with a canonical real subspace which produces Pimsner-Toeplitz, Cuntz-Pimsner, and generalized free semicircular $C^*$-algebras. By compressing this system, we obtain various canonical $C^*$-algebras, including Doplicher-Roberts algebras, Guionnet-Jones-Shlyakhtenko algebras, universal (Toeplitz-)Cuntz-Krieger algebras, and the newly introduced free graph algebras. This is the first article in a series studying canonical $C^*$-algebras associ…
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…
Dynamical quantum groups were introduced by Etingof and Varchenko in connection with the dynamical quantum Yang-Baxter equation, and measured quantum groupoids were introduced by Enock, Lesieur and Vallin in their study of inclusions of type II_1 factors. In this article, we associate to suitable dynamical quantum groups, which are a purely algebraic objects, Hopf C*-bimodules and measured quantum groupoids on the level of von Neumann algebras. Assuming invariant integrals on the dynamical quantum group, we first construct a fundamental unitary which yields Hopf bimodules on the level of C*-al…
We determine the indecomposable characters of several classes of infinite dimensional groups associated with operator algebras, including the unitary groups of arbitrary unital simple AF algebras and II$_1$ factors.
The $C^*$-algebra associated with the twisted CCR constructed by W. Pusz and S.L. Woronowicz is considered. It is proved that the $C^*$-algebras corresponding to different values of parameter $0<=μ<1$ are isomorphic. It is proved that Fock representation is faithful on both *-algebra and $C^*$-algebra levels.
We analyse the Guionnet-Jones-Shlyakhtenko construction for the planar algebra associated to a finite-dimensional Kac algebra and identify the factors that arise as finite interpolated free group factors.
Noncommutative tori with real multiplication are the irrational rotation algebras that have special equivalence bimodules. Y. Manin proposed the use of noncommutative tori with real multiplication as a geometric framework for the study of abelian class field theory of real quadratic fields. In this paper, we consider the Cuntz-Pimsner algebras constructed by special equivalence bimodules of irrational rotation algebras. We shall show that associated $C^*$-algebras are simple and purely infinite. We compute the K-groups of associated $C^*$-algebras and show that these algebras are related to th…
