To a graph $\Gamma$ one can associate a C^*-algebra $C^*(\Gamma)$ generated by isometries. Such $C^*$-algebras were studied recently by Crisp and Laca. They are a special case of the Toeplitz C^*-algebras $\mathcal{T}(G, P)$ associated to…
We introduce new formulations of aperiodicity and cofinality for finitely aligned higher-rank graphs \Lambda, and prove that C*(\Lambda) is simple if and only if \Lambda is aperiodic and cofinal. The main advantage of our versions of…
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,…
For a large class of finite graphs $E$, we show that whenever $\alpha$ is a vertex-fixing quasi-free automorphism of the corresponding graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ such that $\alpha({\mathcal D}_E) \neq{\mathcal D}_E$, where ${\mathcal…
A semigroupoid is a set equipped with a partially defined associative operation. Given a semigroupoid \Lambda we construct a C*-algebra C*(\Lambda) from it. We then present two main examples of semigroupoids, namely the Markov semigroupoid…
Quantum symmetry of a graph $C^{*}$-algebra $C^{*}(\Gamma)$ corresponding to a finite graph $\Gamma$ has been explored by several mathematicians within different categories in the past few years. In this article, we establish that there are…
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…
An automorphism $\beta$ of a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ induces a crossed product $C^* ( \Lambda ) \rtimes_\beta \mathbb{Z}$ which is isomorphic to a $(k+1)$-graph algebra $C^* ( \Lambda \times_\beta \mathbb{Z})$. In this paper we show how this…
The dynamics of a one-sided subshift $\mathsf{X}$ can be modeled by a set of partially defined bijections. From this data we define an inverse semigroup $\mathcal{S}_{\mathsf{X}}$ and show that it has many interesting properties. We prove…
Let $\Lambda = \mathbb{Z}^n$ with lexicographic ordering. $\Lambda$ is a totally ordered group. Let $X = \Lambda^+ * \Lambda^+$. Then $X$ is a $\Lambda$-tree. Analogous to the construction of graph $C^*$-algebras, we form a groupoid whose…
We describe a class of rank-2 graphs whose C^*-algebras are AT algebras. For a subclass which we call rank-2 Bratteli diagrams, we compute the K-theory of the C*-algebra. We identify rank-2 Bratteli diagrams whose C*-algebras are simple and…
In this work we propose a new type of shift spaces, called blur shift spaces, where one can represent with a single symbol an entire set of infinite symbols. Such shift spaces are constructed from classical shift spaces, by choosing some…
For a finitely aligned k-graph $\Lambda$ with X a set of vertices in $\Lambda$ we define a universal C*-algebra called $C^*(\Lambda,X)$ generated by partial isometries. We show that $C^*(\Lambda,X)$ is isomorphic to the corner…
The study of graph C*-algebras has a long history in operator algebras. Surprisingly, their quantum symmetries have never been computed so far. We close this gap by proving that the quantum automorphism group of a finite, directed graph…
Any $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of locally compact, Hausdorff topological space $\mathcal X$. From the commutative commutative Gelfand-Na\u{\i}mark theorem it follows that the spectrum of any commutative $C^*$-algebra…
We consider a family of dynamical systems (A,alpha,L) in which alpha is an endomorphism of a C*-algebra A and L is a transfer operator for \alpha. We extend Exel's construction of a crossed product to cover non-unital algebras A, and show…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for lobe-transitivity of locally finite and locally countable graphs whose connectivity equals 1. We show further that, given any biconnected graph $\Lambda$ and a "code" assigned to each orbit of…
This note extends and strengthens a theorem of Bates that says that row-finite graphs that are strong shift equivalent have Morita equivalent graph C*-algebras. This allows us to ask whether our stronger notion of Morita equivalence does in…
We investigate the tracial and ideal structures of $C^*$-algebras of quasi-regular representations of stabilizers of boundary actions. Our main tool is the notion of boundary maps, namely $\Gamma$-equivariant unital completely positive maps…
Let $\mathscr{T}(L^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}))$ be the Toeplitz algebra, that is, the $C^*$-algebra generated by the set $\{T_{\phi} : \phi\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{T})\}$. Douglas's theorem on symbol map states that there exists a $C^*$-algebra…
