For dynamical systems defined by a covering map of a compact Hausdorff space and the corresponding transfer operator, the associated crossed product $C^*$-algebras $\cros$ introduced by Exel and Vershik are considered. An important property…

Extending the work of Cuntz and Vershik, we develop a general notion of independence for commuting group endomorphisms. Based on this concept, we initiate the study of irreversible algebraic dynamical systems, which can be thought of as…

For a fixed C*-algebra A, we consider all noncommutative dynamical systems that can be generated by A. More precisely, an A-dynamical system is a triple (i,B,\alpha) where $\alpha$ is a *-endomorphism of a C*-algebra B, and i: A --> B is…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

We study conditions that ensure uniqueness theorems of Cuntz-Krieger type for relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras $\mathcal{O}(J,X)$ associated to a $C^*$-correspondence $X$ over a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We give general sufficient conditions…

We use techniques from both real and complex algebraic geometry to study K-theoretic and related invariants of the algebra C(X) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff topological space X. For example, we prove a…

Given positive integers n and m, we consider dynamical systems in which n copies of a topological space is homeomorphic to m copies of that same space. The universal such system is shown to arise naturally from the study of a C*-algebra we…

A pure topological characterization of primitive ideal spaces of separable nuclear C*-algebras is given. We show that a $T_0$-space $X$ is a primitive ideal space of a separable nuclear C*-algebra $A$ if and only if $X$ is point-complete…

Using free probability constructions involving Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras we show that the topological entropy of the free product of two automorphisms is equal to the maximum of the individual entropies. As applications we show that general…

Let $X$ be an infinite compact metric space with finite covering dimension and let $\alpha, \beta : X\to X$ be two minimal homeomorphisms. We prove that the crossed product $C^*$-algebras $C(X)\rtimes_\alpha\Z$ and $C(X)\rtimes_\belta\Z$…

We attach to each finite bipartite separated graph (E,C) a partial dynamical system (\Omega(E,C), F, \theta), where \Omega(E,C) is a zero-dimensional metrizable compact space, F is a finitely generated free group, and {\theta} is a…

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,…

Partial dynamical systems (X,alpha) arise naturally when dealing with commutative C*-dynamical system (A,delta). We associate with every pair (X,alpha), or (A,delta), a covariance C*-algebra C*(X,alpha)=C*(A,delta) which agrees with a…

In this paper we focus on the set-open topologies on the group $\mathcal{H}(X)$ of all self-homeomorphisms of a topological space $X$ which yield continuity of both the group operations, product and inverse function. As a consequence, we…

Let $(G,\alpha)$ and $(H,\beta)$ be locally compact Hausdorff groupoids with Haar systems, and let $(X,\lambda)$ be a topological correspondence from $(G,\alpha)$ to $(H,\beta)$ which induce the ${C}^*$-correspondence $\mathcal{H}(X)\colon…

Let $G$ be a compact Hausdorff topological group acting on a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$. Within the $C^{*}$-algebra $C(X)$ of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, there is the Peter-Weyl algebra $\mathcal{P}_G(X)$…

A C*-dynamical system is said to have the ideal separation property if every ideal in the corresponding crossed product arises from an invariant ideal in the C*-algebra. In this paper we characterize this property for unital C*-dynamical…
