Abstract

We associate a C*-algebra O~X\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}_{\textsf{X}} with a subshift over an arbitrary, possibly infinite, alphabet. We show that O~X\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}_{\textsf{X}} is a full invariant for topological conjugacy of the subshifts of Ott, Tomforde, and Willis. When the alphabet is countable, we show that O~X\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}_{\textsf{X}} is an invariant for isometric conjugacy of subshifts with the product metric. For a suitable partial action associated with a subshift over a countable alphabet, we show that O~X\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}_{\textsf{X}} is also an invariant for continuous orbit equivalence. Additionally, we give a concrete way to compute the K-theory of O~X\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}_{\textsf{X}} and illustrate it with two examples.
