Periodicity in Rank 2 Graph Algebras

چکیده
Kumjian and Pask introduced an aperiodicity condition for higher rank graphs. We present a detailed analysis of when this occurs in certain rank 2 graphs. When the algebra is aperiodic, we give another proof of the simplicity of C(Fθ ). The periodic C*algebras are characterized, and it is shown that C(Fθ ) ' C(T)⊗A where A is a simple C*-algebra.

NILPOTENT GRAPHS OF MATRIX ALGEBRAS
Let $R$ be a ring with unity. The undirected nilpotent graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma_N(R)$, is a graph with vertex set ~$Z_N(R)^* = {0neq x in R | xy in N(R) for some y in R^*}$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy in N(R)$, or equivalently, $yx in N(R)$, where $N(R)$ denoted the nilpotent elements of $R$. Recently, it has been proved that if $R$ is a left A...
متن کاملRepresentations of higher rank graph algebras
Let F+θ be a k-graph on a single vertex. We show that every irreducible atomic ∗-representation is the minimal ∗-dilation of a group construction representation. It follows that every atomic representation decomposes as a direct sum or integral of such representations. We characterize periodicity of F+θ and identify a symmetry subgroup Hθ of Z. If this has rank s, then C(Fθ ) ∼= C(T) ⊗ A for so...
متن کاملThe H Algebras of Higher Rank Graphs
We begin the study of a new class of operator algebras that arise from higher rank graphs. Every higher rank graph generates a Fock space Hilbert space and creation operators which are partial isometries acting on the space. We call the weak operator topology closed algebra generated by these operators a higher rank semigroupoid algebra. A number of examples are discussed in detail, including t...
متن کاملRank-two Graphs Whose C∗-algebras Are Direct Limits of Circle Algebras
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 have real-rank zero, and characterise the K-invariants achieved by such algebras. We give examples of rank-2 Bratteli diagrams whose C∗-algebras contain as f...
متن کاملReal Rank and Topological Dimension of Higher Rank Graph Algebras
We study dimension theory for the C∗-algebras of row-finite k-graphs with no sources. We establish that strong aperiodicity—the higher-rank analogue of condition (K)—for a k-graph is necessary and sufficient for the associated C∗-algebra to have topological dimension zero. We prove that a purely infinite 2-graph algebra has real-rank zero if and only if it has topological dimension zero and sat...
