Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the structure of the magic square C*-algebra A(4)A(4) of size 4. We show that a certain twisted crossed product of A(4)A(4) is isomorphic to the homogeneous C*-algebra M4(C(RP3))M_4(C(\mathbb{R} P^3)). Using this result, we show that A(4)A(4) is isomorphic to the fixed point algebra of M4(C(RP3))M_4(C(\mathbb{R} P^3)) by a certain action. From this concrete realization of A(4)A(4), we compute the K-groups of A(4)A(4) and their generators.
