Abstract

We extend Nekrashevych's KKKK-duality for CC^*-algebras of regular, recurrent, contracting self-similar group actions to regular, contracting self-similar groupoid actions on a graph, removing the recurrence condition entirely and generalising from a finite alphabet to a finite graph. More precisely, given a regular and contracting self-similar groupoid (G,E)(G,E) acting faithfully on a finite directed graph EE, we associate two CC^*-algebras, O(G,E)\mathcal{O}(G,E) and O^(G,E)\widehat{\mathcal{O}}(G,E), to it and prove that they are strongly Morita equivalent to the stable and unstable Ruelle C*-algebras of a Smale space arising from a Wieler solenoid of the self-similar limit space. That these algebras are Spanier-Whitehead dual in KKKK-theory follows from the general result for Ruelle algebras of irreducible Smale spaces proved by Kaminker, Putnam, and the last author.
