We prove that if \Lambda is a row-finite k-graph with no sources, then the associated C^*-algebra is simple if and only if \Lambda is cofinal and satisfies Kumjian and Pask's Condition (A). We prove that Condition (A) is equivalent to a…
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 $k$-graph $\Lambda$ and an element $p$ of $\NN^k$, we define the dual $k$-graph, $p\Lambda$. We show that when $\Lambda$ is row-finite and has no sources, the $C^*$-algebras $C^*(\Lambda)$ and $C^*(p\Lambda)$ coincide. We use this…
We give a combinatorial description of a family of 2-graphs which subsumes those described by Pask, Raeburn and Weaver. Each 2-graph $\Lambda$ we consider has an associated $C^*$-algebra, denoted $C^*(\Lambda)$, which is simple and purely…
It is shown that, for an arbitrary free and minimal $\mathbb Z^n$-action on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, the crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm{C}(X)\rtimes\mathbb Z^n$ always has stable rank one, i.e., invertible elements are dense.…
Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…
Given a row-finite $k$-graph $\Lambda$ with no sources we investigate the $K$-theory of the higher rank graph $C^*$-algebra, $C^*(\Lambda)$. When $k=2$ we are able to give explicit formulae to calculate the $K$-groups of $C^*(\Lambda)$. The…
Given a $k$-graph $\Lambda $ we construct a Markov space $M_\Lambda $, and a collection of $k$ pairwise commuting cellular automata on $M_\Lambda $, providing for a factorization of Markov's shift. Iterating these maps we obtain an action…
It is shown that no local periodicity is equivalent to the aperiodicity condition for arbitrary finitely-aligned k-graphs. This allows us to conclude that C*(\Lambda) is simple if and only if \Lambda is cofinal and has no local periodicity.
In previous work, the authors showed that the C*-algebra C*(\Lambda) of a row-finite higher-rank graph \Lambda with no sources is simple if and only if \Lambda is both cofinal and aperiodic. In this paper, we generalise this result to…
We provide a complete classification of the class of unital graph $C^*$-algebras - prominently containing the full family of Cuntz-Krieger algebras - showing that Morita equivalence in this case is determined by ordered, filtered…
We initiate the program of extending to higher-rank graphs ($k$-graphs) the geometric classification of directed graph $C^*$-algebras, as completed in the 2016 paper of Eilers, Restorff, Ruiz, and Sorensen [ERRS16]. To be precise, we…
We will characterize topologically conjugate two-sided topological Markov shifts $(\bar{X}_A,\bar{\sigma}_A)$ in terms of the associated asymptotic Ruelle $C^*$-algebras ${\mathcal{R}}_A$ with its commutative $C^*$-subalgebras…
We prove that if two nonnegative matrices are strong shift equivalent, the associated stable Cuntz-Krieger algebras with generalized gauge actions are conjugate. The proof is done by a purely functional analytic method and based on…
Inspired by Franks' classification of irreducible shifts of finite type we provide a short list of allowed moves on graphs that preserves the stable isomorphism class of the associated C*-algebras. We show that if two graphs have stably…
For each odd integer $n \geq 3$, we construct a rank-3 graph $\Lambda_n$ with involution $\gamma_n$ whose real C*-algebra $C^*_\mathbb{R}(\Lambda_n, \gamma_n)$ is stably isomorphic to the exotic Cuntz algebra $\mathcal E_n^\mathbb{R}$. This…
For a row-finite higher-rank graph {\Lambda}, we construct a higher-rank graph T{\Lambda} such that the Toeplitz algebra of {\Lambda} is isomorphic to the Cuntz-Krieger algebra of T{\Lambda}. We then prove that the higher-rank graph…
We establish $\mathcal{Z}$-stability for crossed products of outer actions of amenable groups on $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras under a mild technical assumption which we call McDuff property with respect to invariant traces. We obtain…
The representations of a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\Lambda)$ which arise from $\Lambda$-semibranching function systems are closely linked to the dynamics of the $k$-graph $\Lambda$. In this paper, we undertake a systematic analysis of…
We extend Nekrashevych's $KK$-duality for $C^*$-algebras of regular, recurrent, contracting self-similar group actions to regular, contracting self-similar groupoid actions on a graph, removing the recurrence condition entirely and…
