Let ${\cal O}_n$ denote the Cuntz algebra for $2\leq n<\infty$. With respect to a homogeneous embedding of ${\cal O}_{n^m}$ into ${\cal O}_n$, an extension of a Cuntz state on ${\cal O}_{n^m}$ to ${\cal O}_n$ is called a sub-Cuntz state,…

We study representations of the Cuntz algebras O_d and their associated decompositions. In the case that these representations are irreducible, their restrictions to the gauge-invariant subalgebra UHF_d have an interesting cyclic structure.…

Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$, $n>1$, are celebrated examples of a separable infinite simple C*-algebra with a number of fascinating properties. Their K-theory allows an embedding of $\mathcal O_m$ in $\mathcal O_n$ whenever $n-1$ divides…

To a representation of $\O_N$ (the Cuntz algebra with $N$ generators) we associate a projection valued measure and we study the case when this measure has atoms. The main technical tool are the spaces invariant for all the operators…

Let F_n be the fixed-point algebra of the gauge action of the circle on the Cuntz algebra O_n. For every pure state \rho of F_n and every representation \theta of C(T) we construct a representation of O_n, and we use the resulting class of…

The notion of permutative representation is generalized to the $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_{2}$. Permutative representations of $\mathcal{Q}_2$ are then investigated with a particular focus on the inclusion of the Cuntz algebra…

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 show that the representations of the Cuntz C$^\ast$-algebras $O_n$ which arise in wavelet analysis and dilation theory can be classified through a simple analysis of completely positive maps on finite-dimensional space. Based on this…

Permutative automorphisms of the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$ are in bijection with the stable permutations of $[n]^k$. They are also the elements of the restricted Weyl group of $Aut(\mathcal{O}_n)$. In this note, we characterize a class…

We prove that the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra O(E) of a vector bundle E over a compact metrizable space X is determined up to an isomorphism of C(X)-algebras by the ideal (1-[E])K(X) of the K-theory ring K(X). Moreover, if E and F are vector…

Let S_k be the set of separable states on B(C^m \otimes C^n) admitting a representation as a convex combination of k pure product states, or fewer. If m>1, n> 1, and k \le max(m,n), we show that S_k admits a subset V_k such that V_k is…

We investigate an invariant for continuous fields of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_{n+1}$ introduced in our previous work, and find a way to obtain a continuous field of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathcal{O}_\infty)$ from that of $\mathcal{O}_{n+1}$…

To each discrete product system E of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces we associate a C*-algebra O_E. When E is the n-dimensional product system over N, O_E is the Cuntz algebra O_n, and the irrational rotation algebras appear as O_E for…

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…

We present a class of subshifts $Z_N, N = 1,2,...$ whose associated $C^*$-algebras ${\cal O}_{Z_N}$ are simple, purely infinite and not stably isomorphic to any Cuntz-Krieger algebra nor to Cuntz algebra. The class of the subshifts is the…

We study a class of representations of the Cuntz algebras O_N, N=2,3,..., acting on L^2(T) where T=R/2\pi Z. The representations arise in wavelet theory, but are of independent interest. We find and describe the decomposition into…

The direct sum ${\cal O}_{*}$ of all Cuntz algebras has a non-cocommutative comultiplication $\Delta_{\varphi}$ such that there exists no antipode of any dense subbialgebra of the C$^{*}$-bialgebra $({\cal O}_{*},\Delta_{\varphi})$. From…

It is shown that generic N-party pure quantum states (with equidimensional subsystems) are uniquely determined by their reduced states of just over half the parties; in other words, all the information in almost all N-party pure states is…

It is easy to see that every character (i.e. unital *-homomorphism to the complex numbers) of a commutative unital associative *-algebra is a pure state (i.e. extreme point in the convex set of all normalized positive linear functionals).…

A pure quantum state is called $k$-uniform if all its reductions to $k$-qudit are maximally mixed. We investigate the general constructions of $k$-uniform pure quantum states of $n$ subsystems with $d$ levels. We provide one construction…
