Abstract

In this paper we give a formula for the KK-theory of the CC^*-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space. This is done by realising the CC^*-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a CC^*-correspondence. As a corollary we get a gauge invariant uniqueness theorem for the CC^*-algebra of any weakly left-resolving labelled space. In order to achieve this we must modify the definition of the CC^*-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space. We also establish strong connections between the various classes of CC^*-algebras which are associated with shift spaces and labelled graph algebras. Hence, by computing the KK-theory of a labelled graph algebra we are providing a common framework for computing the KK-theory of graph algebras, ultragraph algebras, Exel-Laca algebras, Matsumoto algebras and the CC^*-algebras of Carlsen. We provide an inductive limit approach for computing the KK-groups of an important class of labelled graph algebras, and give examples.
