We investigate the structure of the fixed-point algebra of $\mathcal{O}_n$ under the action of the cyclic permutation of the generating isometries. We prove that it is $*$-isomorphic with $\mathcal{O}_n$, thus generalizing a result of Choi…

The 2-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$ is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary and an isometry satisfying certain relations. It contains a canonical copy of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$. We show that…

We compute the K-theory of the C*-algebra of symmetric words in two universal unitaries. This algebra is the fixed point C*-algebra for the order-two automorphism of the full C*-algebra of the free group on two generators which switches the…

We give a new definition for the crossed-product of a C*-algebra A by a *-endomorphism \alpha, which depends not only on the pair (A,\alpha) but also on the choice of a transfer operator (defined in the paper). With this we generalize some…

Starting from an arbitrary endomorphism \alpha of a unital C*-algebra A we construct a crossed product. It is shown that the natural construction depends not only on the C*-dynamical system (A,\alpha) but also on the choice of an ideal…

Let $\Delta$ be a building of type $\widetilde A_2$ and order $q$, with maximal boundary $\Omega$. Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type preserving automorphisms of $\Delta$ which acts regularly on the chambers of $\Delta$. Then the crossed…

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…

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…

We show that a separable, nuclear C*-algebra satisfies the UCT if it has a Cartan subalgebra. Furthermore, we prove that the UCT is closed under crossed products by group actions which respect Cartan subalgebras. This observation allows us…

We study the subalgebra of the lattice vertex operator algebra $V_{\sqrt{2}A_2}$ consisting of the fixed points of an automorphism which is induced from an order 3 isometry of the root lattice $A_2$. We classify the simple modules for the…

We consider the C*-algebras O_2^q and A_2^q generated, respectively, by isometries s_1, s_2 satisfying the relation s_1^* s_2 = q s_2 s_1^* with |q| < 1 (the deformed Cuntz relation), and by isometries s_1, s_2 satisfying the relation s_2…

We establish a crossed product decomposition theorem for stabilized Cuntz--Pimsner algebras. This result extends Cuntz's classical decomposition for the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$ and reveals an implicit symmetric structure within…

We undertake a systematic study of the so-called $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$. This is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary $U$ and an isometry $S_2$ such that $S_2U=U^2S_2$ and $S_2S_2^*+US_2S_2^*U^*=1$.…

We study the semicrossed product of a finite dimensional C^*-algebra by two types of commuting automorphisms, and identify them with matrix algebras of analytic functions in two variables. We look at the connections with semicrossed…

Given a compact space X and two commuting continuous open surjective maps sigma_1, sigma_2 : X --> X, we construct certain C*-algebras that reflect the dynamics of the N^2-action. When the maps sigma_1, sigma_2 are local homeomorphisms,…

In a recent paper, Pardo and the first named author introduced a class of C*-algebras which which are constructed from an action of a group on a graph. This class was shown to include many C*-algebras of interest, including all Kirchberg…

Cuntz algebra $\mathcal O_2$ is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by two isometries $s_1, s_2$ satisfying $s_1s_1^*+s_2s_2^*=1$. This is separable, simple, infinite $C^*$-algebra containing a copy of any nuclear $C^*$-algebra. The…

We describe both the Bunce-Deddens C*-algebras and their Toeplitz versions, as crossed products of commutative C*-algebras by partial automorphisms. In the latter case, the commutative algebra has, as its spectrum, the union of the Cantor…

We describe the representation theory of C*-crossed-products of a unital C*-algebra A by the cyclic group of order 2. We prove that there are two main types of irreducible representations for the crossed-product: those whose restriction to…

We establish logical equivalence between statements involving * the Cuntz C*-algebra $\mathcal O_\infty$ with its canonical diagonal; * graph C*-algebras with their canonical diagonals; * Leavitt path algebras over general fields with their…
