Abstract

Let φ\varphi be a linear-fractional, non-automorphism self-map of D\mathbb{D} that fixes ζT\zeta \in \mathbb{T} and satisfies φ(ζ)1\varphi^{\prime}(\zeta) \neq 1 and consider the composition operator CφC_{\varphi} acting on the Hardy space H2(D).H^2(\mathbb{D}). We determine which linear-fractionally-induced composition operators are contained in the unital C^*-algebra generated by CφC_{\varphi} and the ideal K\mathcal{K} of compact operators. We apply these results to show that C(Cφ,K)C^*(C_{\varphi}, \mathcal{K}) and C(Fζ)C^*(\mathcal{F}_{\zeta}), the unital C^*-algebra generated by all composition operators induced by linear-fractional, non-automorphism self-maps of D\mathbb{D} that fix ζ\zeta, are each isomorphic, modulo the ideal of compact operators, to a unitization of a crossed product of C0([0,1])C_0([0,1]). We compute the K-theory of C(Cφ,K)C^*(C_{\varphi}, \mathcal{K}) and calculate the essential spectra of a class of operators in this C^*-algebra. We also obtain a full description of the structures, modulo the ideal of compact operators, of the C^*-algebras generated by the unilateral shift TzT_z and a single linear-fractionally-induced composition operator.
