Unital endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra O_n which preserve the canonical UHF-subalgebra F_n of O_n are investigated. We give examples of such endomorphisms for which the associated unitary element in O_n does not belong to F_n. One such…
This mainly expository article is devoted to recent advances in the study of dynamical aspects of the Cuntz algebras O_n, with n finite, via their automorphisms and, more generally, endomorphisms. A combinatorial description of permutative…
The problem of existence of standard (i.e. product-type) invariant MASAs for endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra O_n is studied. In particular endomorphisms which preserve the canonical diagonal MASA D_n are investigated. Conditions on a…
We initiate a detailed and systematic study of automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras $\O_n$ which preserve both the diagonal and the core $UHF$-subalgebra. A general criterion of invertibility of endomorphisms yielding such automorphisms is…
We survey recent results on endomorphisms and especially on automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras O_n, with a special emphasis on the structure of the Weyl group. We discuss endomorphisms globally preserving the diagonal MASA and their…
We investigate the structure of the outer automorphism group of the Cuntz algebra and the closely related problem of conjugacy of MASAa in O_n. In particular, we exhibit an uncountable family of MASAs, conjugate to the standard MASA D_n via…
It is shown that, modulo the automorphisms which fix the canonical diagonal MASA point-wise, the group of those automorphisms of the Cuntz algebra O_n which globally preserve both the diagonal and the core UHF-subalgebra is isomorphic, via…
It was shown recently by Conti, R{\o}rdam and Szyma\'{n}ski that there exist endomorphisms $\lambda_u$ of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_n$ such that $\lambda_u (\mathcal{F}_n)\subseteq\mathcal{F}_n$ but $u\not\in\mathcal{F}_n$, and a…
We completely determine the localized automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras $O_n$ corresponding to permutation matrices in $M_n \otimes M_n$ for $n=3$ and $n=4$. This result is obtained through a combination of general combinatorial…
The Weyl group of the Cuntz algebra O_n, with n finite, is investigated. This is (isomorphic to) the group of polynomial automorphisms of O_n, namely those induced by unitaries that can be written as finite sums of words in the canonical…
We investigate algebraic and analytic subvarieties of C^n with automorphisms which can not be extended to the ambient space.
The problem of inner vs outer conjugacy of subalgebras of certain graph C*-algebras is investigated. For a large class of finite graphs E, we show that whenever $\alpha$ is a vertex-fixing quasi-free automorphism of the corresponding graph…
The $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$ naturally contains a copy of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$ and, a fortiori, also of its diagonal subalgebra $\mathcal{D}_2$ with Cantor spectrum. This paper is aimed at studying the group…
In this paper we investigate the normalizer $\mathcal{N}_{\mathcal{O}_{n}}(A)$ of a $C^{*}$-subalgebra $A\subset \mathcal{F}_{n}$ where $\mathcal{F}_{n}$ is the canonical UHF-subalgebra of type $n^{\infty}$ in the Cuntz algebra…
Examples of (strongly continuous) one-parameter groups of automorphisms of UHF C*-algebras are given. One example has the property that the infinitesimal generator does not have a union of finite-dimensional subalgebras as a core. (This…
Normal endomorphisms of von Neumann algebras need not be extendable to automorphisms of a larger von Neumann algebra, but they always have asymptotic lifts. We describe the structure of endomorphisms and their asymptotic lifts in some…
Let O_d be the Cuntz algebra on generators S_1,...,S_d, 2 \leq d < \infty, and let D_d \subset O_d be the abelian subalgebra generated by monomials S_\alpha S_\alpha^* =S_{\alpha_{1}}...S_{\alpha_{k}}S_{\alpha_{k}}^*...S_{\alpha_{1}}^*…
Permutative automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$ are in bijection with the stable permutations of $[n]^t$. They are also the elements of the reduced Weyl group of $Aut(\mathcal{O}_n)$. In this paper, we characterize the…
A fully irreducible outer automorphism phi of the free group F_n of rank n has an expansion factor which often differs from the expansion factor of the inverse of phi. Nevertheless, we prove that the ratio between the logarithms of the…
Given a quasi-special endomorphism $\rho$ of a C*-algebra A with nontrivial center, we study an extension problem for automorphisms of A to a minimal cross-product B of A by $\rho$. Exploiting some aspects of the underlying generalized…
