Abstract

If α\alpha is the endomorphism of the disk algebra, \AD\AD, induced by composition with a finite Blaschke product bb, then the semicrossed product \AD×α\bZ+\AD\times_{\alpha} \bZ^+ imbeds canonically, completely isometrically into \rC(\bT)×α\bZ+\rC(\bT)\times_{\alpha} \bZ^+. Hence in the case of a non-constant Blaschke product bb, the C*-envelope has the form \rC(§b)×s\bZ \rC(\S_{b})\times_{s} \bZ, where (§b,s)(\S_{b}, s) is the solenoid system for (\bT,b)(\bT, b). In the case where bb is a constant, then the C*-envelope of \AD×α\bZ+\AD\times_{\alpha} \bZ^+ is strongly Morita equivalent to a crossed product of the form \rC(§e)×s\bZ \rC(\S_{e})\times_{s} \bZ, where e ⁣:\bT×\bN\bT×\bNe \colon \bT \times \bN \longrightarrow \bT \times \bN is a suitable map and (§e,s)(\S_{e}, s) is the solenoid system for (\bT×\bN,e)(\bT \times \bN, \, e) .
