A Semigroup Composition C*-algebra

Functional Analysis 2009-09-08 v1

Abstract

For 0 < s < 1, let phi_s(z)=sz+(1-s). We investigate the unital C*-algebra generated by the semigroup {C_{phi_s} : 0 < s < 1} of composition operators acting on the Hardy space of the unit disk. We determine the joint approximate point spectrum of a related collection of operators and show that the quotient of the C*-algebra by its commutator ideal is isomorphic to the direct sum of the complex numbers and the algebra of almost periodic functions on the real line. In addition, we show that the C*-algebra is irreducible.
