We generalise the theory of Cuntz-Krieger families and graph algebras to the class of finitely aligned $k$-graphs. This class contains in particular all row-finite $k$-graphs. The Cuntz-Krieger relations for non-row-finite $k$-graphs look…

We define branching systems for finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. From these we construct concrete representations of higher-rank graph C*-algebras on Hilbert spaces. We prove a generalized Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem for periodic…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop the theory of covering spaces for k-graphs, obtaining a…

In this article, we present a new method to study relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras for higher-rank graphs. We only work with edges rather than paths of arbitrary degrees. We then use this method to simplify the existing results about…

We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our…

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…

In this note we extend the construction of a $C^*$-algebra associated to a self-similar graph to the case of arbitrary countable graphs. We reduce the problem to the row-finite case with no sources, by using a desingularization process.…

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.…

We consider the higher-rank graphs introduced by Kumjian and Pask as models for higher-rank Cuntz-Krieger algebras. We describe a variant of the Cuntz-Krieger relations which applies to graphs with sources, and describe a local convexity…

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…

Results of Fowler and Sims show that every k-graph is completely determined by its k-coloured skeleton and collection of commuting squares. Here we give an explicit description of the k-graph associated to a given skeleton and collection of…

We define the relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. We prove versions of the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem for relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras.

We introduce a family of $C^*$-correspondences $X_\alpha$ naturally associated to every ordinal graph $\Lambda$. When $\Lambda$ is a directed graph, $X_0$ is isomorphic to the usual $C^*$-correspondence associated to a graph. We show that…

We address the classification problem for graph $C^*$-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that…

In a number of recent papers, (k+l)-graphs have been constructed from k-graphs by inserting new edges in the last l dimensions. These constructions have been motivated by C*-algebraic considerations, so they have not been treated…

Let $\Lambda$ be a row-finite higher-rank graph with no sources. We identify a maximal commutative subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ inside the Kumjian-Pask algebra ${\rm KP}_R(\Lambda)$. We also prove a generalized Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem…

In this article, we introduce Cohn path algebras of higher-rank graphs. We prove that for a higher-rank graph $\Lambda $, there exists a higher-rank graph $T\Lambda $ such that the Cohn path algebra of $\Lambda $ is isomorphic to the…

A characterization is given for directed graphs that yield graph $C^*$-algebras with continuous trace. This is established for row-finite graphs with no sources first using a groupoid approach, and extended to the general case via the…

We study the structure and compute the stable rank of C*-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs. We completely determine the stable rank of the C*-algebra when the k-graph either contains no cycle with an entrance, or is cofinal. We also…

In this monograph we undertake a comprehensive study of separable representations (as well as their unitary equivalence classes) of $C^*$-algebras associated to strongly connected finite $k$-graphs $\Lambda$. We begin with the…
