We associate a canonical Hecke pair of semidirect product groups to the ring inclusion of the algebraic integers $\oo$ in a number field $\kk$, and we construct a C*-dynamical system on the corresponding Hecke C*-algebra, analogous to the…
Given a quasi-lattice ordered group $(G,P)$ and a compactly aligned product system $X$ of essential C$^*$-correspondences over the monoid $P$, we show that there is a bijection between the gauge-invariant KMS$_\beta$-states on the…
We complete the analysis of KMS-states of the Toeplitz algebra of the affine semigroup over the natural numbers, recently studied by Raeburn and the first author, by showing that for every inverse temperature beta in the critical interval…
Given a right LCM semigroup $S$ and a homomorphism $N\colon S\to[1,+\infty)$, we use the groupoid approach to study the KMS$_\beta$-states on $C^*(S)$ with respect to the dynamics induced by $N$. We establish necessary and sufficient…
We consider the dynamics on the C*-algebras of finite graphs obtained by lifting the gauge action to an action of the real line. Enomoto, Fujii and Watatani proved that if the vertex matrix of the graph is irreducible, then the dynamics on…
We describe a construction which associates to any function field $k$ and any place $\infty$ of $k$ a $C^*$-dynamical system $(C_{k,\infty},\sigma_t)$ that is analogous to the Bost-Connes system associated to $\QQ$ and its archimedian…
We consider the Hecke pair consisting of the group $P^+_K$ of affine transformations of a number field $K$ that preserve the orientation in every real embedding and the subgroup $P^+_O$ consisting of transformations with algebraic integer…
For every Hilbert bimodule over a C*-algebra, there are natural gauge actions of the circle on the associated Toeplitz algebra and Cuntz-Pimsner algebra, and hence natural dynamics obtained by lifting these gauge actions to actions of the…
Given a countably infinite 0-1 matrix A without identically zero rows, let O_A be the Cuntz-Krieger algebra recently introduced by the authors and T_A be the Toeplitz extension of O_A, once the latter is seen as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra, as…
Countable Markov shifts, denoted by $\Sigma_A$ for a 0-1 infinite matrix $A$, are central objects in symbolic dynamics and ergodic theory. R. Exel and M. Laca introduced the corresponding operator algebras, a generalization of the…
In the framework of deformation quantization we define formal KMS states on the deformed algebra of power series of functions with compact support in phase space as C[[\lambda]]-linear functionals obeying a formal variant of the usual KMS…
We consider a Hecke algebra naturally associated with the affine group with totally positive multiplicative part over an algebraic number field K and we show that the C*-algebra of the Bost-Connes system for K can be obtained from our Hecke…
Motivated by the sharp contrast between classical and quantum physics as probability theories, in these lecture notes I introduce the basic notions of operator algebras that are relevant for the algebraic approach to quantum physics.…
A $\Sigma^*$-algebra is a concrete $C^*$-algebra that is sequentially closed in the weak operator topology. We study an appropriate class of $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras analogous to the class of $W^*$-modules (selfdual…
A continuous bundle of $C^*$-algebras provides a rigorous framework to study the thermodynamic limit of quantum theories. If the bundle admits the additional structure of a strict deformation quantization (in the sense of Rieffel) one is…
We consider a family of potentials f, derived from the Hofbauer potentials, on the symbolic space Omega=\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N} and the shift mapping $\sigma$ acting on it. A Ruelle operator framework is employed to show there is a phase…
Given a self-similar $K$ set defined from an iterated function system $\Gamma=(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n)$ and a set of function $H=\{h_i:K\to\mathbb{R}\}_{i=1}^d$ satisfying suitable conditions, we define a generalized gauge action on…
We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…
We examine Nica-Pimsner algebras associated with semigroup actions of $\mathbb{Z}_+^n$ on a C*-algebra $A$ by $*$-endomorphisms. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the dynamics for exactness and nuclearity of the Nica-Pimsner…
We examine the theory of the KMS states on Pimsner algebras arising from multivariable unital C*-dynamical systems. As an application we show that Pimsner algebras of piecewise conjugate classical systems attain the same KMS states, even…
