Abstract

Let ϕ\phi be an isometric automorphism of the non-commutative disc algebra \fAn\fA_n for n2n \geq 2. We show that every contractive covariant representation of (\fAn,ϕ)(\fA_n, \phi) dilates to a unitary covariant representation of (\On,ϕ)(\O_n, \phi). Hence the C*-envelope of the semicrossed product \fAn×ϕ\bZ+\fA_n \times_{\phi} \bZ^+ is \On×ϕ\bZ\O_n \times_{\phi} \bZ.
