Our initial data is a transfer operator L for a continuous, countable-to-one map ϕ : ∆ → X defined on an open subset of a locally compact Hausdorff space X. Then L may be identified with a 'potential', i.e. a map ̺ : ∆ → X that need not be continuous unless ϕ is a local homeomorphism. We define the crossed product C0(X) ⋊ L as a universal C * -algebra with explicit generators and relations, and give an explicit faithful representation of C0(X) ⋊ L under which it is generated by weighted composition operators. We explain its relationship with Exel-Royer's crossed products, quiver C * -algebras of Muhly and Tomforde, C * -algebras associated to complex or self-similar dynamics by Kajiwara and Watatani, and groupoid C * -algebras associated to Deaconu-Renault groupoids.We describe spectra of core subalgebras of C0(X) ⋊ L and use it to characterise simplicity of C0(X) ⋊ L and prove the uniqueness theorem for C0(X) ⋊ L. We give efficient criteria for C0(X) ⋊ L to be a Kirchberg algebra, and we discuss relationship between KMS states on the core subalgebra of C0(X) ⋊ L and conformal measures for ϕ.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
