Higher-rank Graph C∗-algebras: an Inverse Semigroup and Groupoid Approach

We provide inverse semigroup and groupoid models for the Toeplitz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras of finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. Using these models, we prove a uniqueness theorem for the Cuntz-Krieger algebra.

CROSSED PRODUCTS OF k-GRAPH C∗-ALGEBRAS BY Z

An action of Z by automorphisms of a k-graph induces an action of Z by automorphisms of the corresponding k-graph C∗-algebra. We show how to construct a (k + l)-graph whose C∗-algebra coincides with the crossed product of the original k-graph C∗-algebra by Z. We then investigate the structure of the crossed-product C∗-algebra.

Removing Sources from Higher-rank Graphs

For a higher-rank graph Λ with sources we detail a construction that creates a row-finite higher-rank graph Λ that does not have sources and contains Λ as a subgraph. Furthermore, when Λ is row-finite the Cuntz-Krieger algebra of Λ, C(Λ) is a full corner of C(Λ), the Cuntz-Krieger algebra of Λ.
