We consider the dynamics on the $C^{\ast }$-algebras of finite graphs obtained by lifting the gauge action to an action of the real line. Enomoto, Fujii and Watatani [KMS states for gauge action on ${\mathcal{O}}_{A}$. Math. Japon.29 (1984), 607–619] proved that if the vertex matrix of the graph is irreducible, then the dynamics on the graph algebra admits a single Kubo–Martin–Schwinger (KMS) state. We have previously studied the dynamics on the Toeplitz algebra, and explicitly described a finite-dimensional simplex of KMS states for inverse temperatures above a critical value. Here we study the KMS states for graphs with reducible vertex matrix, and for inverse temperatures at and below the critical value. We prove a general result which describes all the KMS states at a fixed inverse temperature, and then apply this theorem to a variety of examples. We find that there can be many patterns of phase transition, depending on the behaviour of paths in the underlying graph.

AbstractWe show how to reconstruct a finite directed graph E from its Toeplitz algebra, its gauge action, and the canonical finite-dimensional abelian subalgebra generated by the vertex projections. We also show that if E has no sinks, then we can recover E from its Toeplitz algebra and the generalized gauge action that has, for each vertex, an independent copy of the circle acting on the generators corresponding to edges emanating from that vertex. We show by example that it is not possible to recover E from its Toeplitz algebra and gauge action alone.

Abstract Given a quasi-lattice ordered group (G, P) and a compactly aligned product system X of essential $$\hbox {C}^*$$ C ∗ -correspondences over the monoid P, we show that there is a bijection between the gauge-invariant $$\hbox {KMS}_\beta $$ KMS β -states on the Nica-Toeplitz algebra $$\mathcal {NT}(X)$$ NT ( X ) of X with respect to a gauge-type dynamics, on one side, and the tracial states on the coefficient algebra A satisfying a system (in general infinite) of inequalities, on the other. This strengthens and generalizes a number of results in the literature in several directions: we do not make any extra assumptions on P and X, and our result can, in principle, be used to study KMS-states at any finite inverse temperature $$\beta $$ β . Under fairly general additional assumptions we show that there is a critical inverse temperature $$\beta _c$$ β c such that for $$\beta >\beta _c$$ β > β c all $$\hbox {KMS}_\beta $$ KMS β -states are of Gibbs type, hence gauge-invariant, in which case we have a complete classification of $$\hbox {KMS}_\beta $$ KMS β -states in terms of tracial states on A, while at $$\beta =\beta _c$$ β = β c we have a phase transition manifesting itself in the appearance of $$\hbox {KMS}_\beta $$ KMS β -states that are not of Gibbs type. In the case of right-angled Artin monoids we show also that our system of inequalities for traces on A can be reduced to a much smaller system, a finite one when the monoid is finitely generated. Most of our results generalize to arbitrary quasi-free dynamics on $$\mathcal {NT}(X)$$ NT ( X ) .

For every Hilbert bimodule over a C*-algebra, there are natural gauge actions of the circle on the associated Toeplitz algebra and Cuntz–Pimsner algebra, and hence natural dynamics obtained by lifting these gauge actions to actions of the real line. We study the KMS states of these dynamics for a family of bimodules associated to local homeomorphisms on compact spaces. For inverse temperatures larger than a certain critical value, we find a large simplex of KMS states on the Toeplitz algebra, and we show that all KMS states on the Cuntz–Pimsner algebra have inverse temperature at most this critical value. We illustrate our results by considering the backward shift on the one-sided path space of a finite graph, where we can use recent results about KMS states on graph algebras to see what happens below the critical value. Our results about KMS states on the Cuntz–Pimsner algebra of the shift show that recent constraints on the range of inverse temperatures obtained by Thomsen are sharp.

We study the Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra generated by the right-regular representation of the semigroup ${\mathbb N \rtimes \mathbb N^\times}$, which we call the right Toeplitz algebra. We analyse its structure by studying three distinguished quotients. We show that the multiplicative boundary quotient is isomorphic to a crossed product of the Toeplitz algebra of the additive rationals by an action of the multiplicative rationals, and study its ideal structure. The Crisp--Laca boundary quotient is isomorphic to the $C^*$-algebra of the group ${\mathbb Q_+^\times}\!\! \ltimes \mathbb Q$. There is a natural dynamics on the right Toeplitz algebra and all its KMS states factor through the additive boundary quotient. We describe the KMS simplex for inverse temperatures greater than one.

AbstractIt is shown that hte algebra of regular sets for a finitely additive Borel measure μ on a compact Hausdroff space is a σ-algebra only if it includes the Baire algebra and μ is countably additive onthe σ-algebra of regular sets. Any infinite compact Hausdroff space admits a finitely additive Borel measure whose algebra of regular sets is not a σ-algebra. Although a finitely additive measure with a σ-algebra of regular sets is countably additive on the Baire σ-algebra there are examples of finitely additive extensions of countably additive Baire measures whose regular algebra is not a σ-algebra. We examine the particular case of extensions of Dirac measures. In this context it is shown that all extensions of a {0, 1}-valued countably additive measure from a σ-algebra to a larger σ-algebra are countably additive if and only if the convex set of these extensions is a finite dimensional simplex.

We investigate KMS states of Fowler's Nica–Toeplitz algebra [Formula: see text] associated to a compactly aligned product system X over a semigroup P of Hilbert bimodules. This analysis relies on restrictions of these states to the core algebra which satisfy appropriate scaling conditions. The concept of product system of finite type is introduced. If (G, P) is a lattice ordered group and X is a product system of finite type over P satisfying certain coherence properties, we construct KMSβ states of [Formula: see text] associated to a scalar dynamics from traces on the coefficient algebra of the product system. Our results were motivated by, and generalize some of the results of Laca and Raeburn obtained for the Toeplitz algebra of the affine semigroup over the natural numbers.

Given a real number $\beta > 1$, we construct a simple purely infinite $C^*$-algebra ${\cal O}_{\beta}$ as a $C^*$-algebra arising from the $\beta$-subshift in the symbolic dynamics. The $C^*$-algebras $\{{\cal O}_{\beta} \}_{1<\beta \in {\Bbb R}}$ interpolate between the Cuntz algebras $\{{\cal O}_n\}_{1 < n \in {\Bbb N}}$. The K-groups for the $C^*$-algebras ${\cal O}_{\beta}$, $1 < \beta \in {\Bbb R}$, are computed so that they are completely classified up to isomorphism. We prove that the KMS-state for the gauge action on ${\cal O}_{\beta}$ is unique at the inverse temperature $\log \beta$, which is the topological entropy for the $\beta$-shift. Moreover, ${\cal O}_{\beta}$ is realized to be a universal $C^*$-algebra generated by $n-1=[\beta]$ isometries and one partial isometry with mutually orthogonal ranges and a certain relation coming from the sequence of $\beta$-expansion of $1$.

AbstractA contractive n-tuple A = (A1,…,An) has a minimal joint isometric dilation S = (S1,…,Sn) where the Si’s are isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. This determines a representation of the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebra. When A acts on a finite dimensional space, the wot-closed nonself-adjoint algebra generated by S is completely described in terms of the properties of A. This provides complete unitary invariants for the corresponding representations. In addition, we show that the algebra is always hyper-reflexive. In the last section, we describe similarity invariants. In particular, an n-tuple B of d × d matrices is similar to an irreducible n-tuple A if and only if a certain finite set of polynomials vanish on B.
