In the framework of deformation quantization we define formal KMS states on the deformed algebra of power series of functions with compact support in phase space as C[[\lambda]]-linear functionals obeying a formal variant of the usual KMS…
We consider operator-algebraic dynamical systems given by actions of the real line on unital $C^*$-algebras, and especially the equilibrium states (or KMS states) of such systems. We are particularly interested in systems built from the…
To any periodic, unital and full C*-dynamical system (A, \alpha, R) an invertible operator s acting on the Banach space of trace functionals of the fixed point algebra is canonically associated. KMS states correspond to positive…
Let $G$ be a countable discrete amenable group, and $\Lambda$ be a strongly connected finite $k$-graph. If $(G,\Lambda)$ is a pseudo free and locally faithful self-similar action which satisfies the finite-state condition, then the…
We want to relate the concepts of entropy and pressure to that of KMS states for $C^*$-Algebras. Several different definitions of entropy are known in our days. The one we describe here is quite natural and extends the usual one for…
We introduce the notion of a self-similar action of a groupoid $G$ on a finite higher-rank graph. To these actions we associate a compactly aligned product system of Hilbert bimodules, and thereby obtain corresponding universal…
From a non-constant holomorphic map on a connected Riemann surface we construct an 'etale second countable locally compact Hausdorff groupoid whose associated groupoid C*-algebra admits a one-parameter group of automorphisms with the…
We examine Nica-Pimsner algebras associated with semigroup actions of $\mathbb{Z}_+^n$ on a C*-algebra $A$ by $*$-endomorphisms. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the dynamics for exactness and nuclearity of the Nica-Pimsner…
We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…
We consider a finite directed graph E, and the gauge action on its Toeplitz-Cuntz-Krieger algebra, viewed as an action of R. For inverse temperatures larger than a critical value \beta_c, we give an explicit construction of all the…
We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…
We give a notion of quantum automorphism group of graph C*-algebras without sink at critical inverse temperature. This is defined to be the universal object of a category of CQG's having a linear action in the sense of [11] and preserving…
We compute the KMS (equilibrium) states for the canonical time evolution on C*-algebras from actions of congruence monoids on rings of algebraic integers. We show that for each $\beta\in[1,2]$, there is a unique KMS$_\beta$ state, and we…
This work is concerned with the notion of {eigenstates} for $C^*$-algebras. After reviewing some basic and structural results, we explore the possibility of reinterpreting certain typical concepts of quantum mechanics (\eg dynamical…
We completely classify the KMS states for the gauge action on a $C^*$-algebra associated with a rational function $R$ introduced in our previous work. The gauge action has a phase transition at $\beta = \log \deg R$. We can recover the…
We associate with the ring $R$ of algebraic integers in a number field a C*-algebra $\cT[R]$. It is an extension of the ring C*-algebra $\cA[R]$ studied previously by the first named author in collaboration with X.Li. In contrast to…
Using Walters' version of the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius Theorem we show the existence and uniqueness of KMS states for a certain one-parameter group of automorphisms on a C*-algebra associated to a positively expansive map on a compact metric…
Within the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, a novel method is established which allows to distinguish non-equilibrium states admitting locally a thermodynamic interpretation. The basic idea is to compare these states with…
We study the phase transition of KMS states for the C*-algebras of $ax+b$-semigroups of algebraic integers in which the multiplicative part is restricted to a congruence monoid, as in recent work of Bruce generalizing earlier work of Cuntz,…
