چکیده

Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C-algebra associated to the directed graph. In this paper we give intrinsic constructions of these objects. We provide an explicit construction for the maximal C-algebra of an operator algebra. We also discuss uniqueness of the universal algebras for finite graphs, showing that for finite graphs the graph is an isomorphism invariant for the universal operator algebra of a directed graph. We show that the underlying undirected graph is a Banach algebra isomorphism invariant for the universal C-algebra of a directed graph. There has been significant work in the study of operator algebras associated to combinatorial objects (e.g. groups, semigroups, and graphs). We have continued this study in [3] where the universal operator algebra of a directed graph and the universal C-algebra of a directed graph were introduced and described. The aim of this paper is twofold: first we refine the construction of the universal operator algebras of directed graphs, then we discuss invariants of the universal algebras of finite directed graphs. First we use ideas from [2] to define intrinsic norms on OA(Q) the universal operator algebra of a directed graph. This allows a more concrete construction than was given in [3]. We also describe a construction of the maximal C-envelope of an operator algebra, see [1]. This construction is defined instrinisically using the free product operator algebra construction of Blecher and Paulsen [2]. This suggests that the maximal C-envelope is not as mysterious as is presumed. In fact having a canonical construction should allow a more detailed study of the maximal operator algebra of a directed graph in particular cases. Kribs and Power show in [7] that the graph is a complete unitary invariant for the Toeplitz quiver algebra of a directed graph. Recent work on these Toeplitz quiver algebras by Katsoulis and Kribs, [6] and by Solel [12], has demonstrated that the graph is a complete isomorphism invariant for these algebras. In this paper we extend the techniques of [6] to show that for finite graphs the graph is a complete isomorphism invariant for OA(Q). This fact is perhaps not surprising, although the technique requires more subtlety than in [6] and [12]. For the universal Calgebra of a finite directed graph we are able to show that the underlying directed graph is an isomorphism invariant for the algebra. This is very surprising since the Cuntz-Krieger algebra of a directed graph is not classified by the graph. Before proceeding, we would like to emphasize a difference between the operator algebras in the present paper and those defined in [9]. When we construct the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 47L40, 47L55, 47L75, 46L80.

The Malgrange Form and Fredholm Determinants

We consider the factorization problem of matrix symbols relative to a closed contour, i.e., a Riemann–Hilbert problem, where the symbol depends analytically on parameters. We show how to define a function τ which is locally analytic on the space of deformations and that is expressed as a Fredholm determinant of an operator of “integrable” type in the sense of Its–Izergin–Korepin–Slavnov. The co...

C-crossed Products and Shift Spaces

In this article, we use Exel’s construction to associate a C∗-algebra to every shift space. We show that it has the C∗-algebra defined in [13] as a quotient, and possesses properties indicating that it can be thought of as the universal C∗-algebra associated to a shift space. We also consider its representations, relationship to other C∗-algebras associated to shift spaces, show that it can be ...

Amplification of Completely Bounded Operators and Tomiyama’s Slice Maps

Let (M,N ) be a pair of von Neumann algebras, or of dual operator spaces with at least one of them having property Sσ, and let Φ be an arbitrary completely bounded mapping on M. We present an explicit construction of an amplification of Φ to a completely bounded mapping on M⊗N . Our approach is based on the concept of slice maps as introduced by Tomiyama, and makes use of the description of the...
