We continue the study of isomorphisms of tensor algebras associated to a C*-correspondences in the sense of Muhly and Solel. Inspired by by recent work of Davidson, Ramsey and Shalit, we solve isomorphism problems for tensor algebras arising from weighted partial dynamical systems. We provide complete bounded / isometric classification results for tensor algebras arising from weighted partial systems, both in terms of the C*-correspondences associated to them, and in terms of the original dynamics. We use this to show that the isometric isomorphism and algebraic / bounded isomorphism problems are two distinct problems, that require separate criteria to be solved. Our methods yield alternative proofs to classification results for Peters semi-crossed product due to Davidson and Katsoulis and for multiplicity-free graph tensor algebras due to Katsoulis, Kribs and Solel.
In this paper we study the C*-envelope of the (non-self-adjoint) tensor algebra associated via subproduct systems to a finite irreducible stochastic matrix $P$. Firstly, we identify the boundary representations of the tensor algebra inside the Toeplitz algebra, also known as its non-commutative Choquet boundary. As an application, we provide examples of C*-envelopes that are not *-isomorphic to either the Toeplitz algebra or the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. This characterization required a new proof for the fact that the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra associated to $P$ is isomorphic to $C(mathbb{T}, M_d(mathbb{C}))$, filling a gap in a previous paper. We then proceed to classify the C*-envelopes of tensor algebras of stochastic matrices up to *-isomorphism and stable isomorphism, in terms of the underlying matrices. This is accomplished by determining the K-theory of these C*-algebras and by combining this information with results due to Paschke and Salinas in extension theory. This classification is applied to provide a clearer picture of the various C*-envelopes that can land between the Toeplitz and the Cuntz-Pimsner algebras.
We study subproduct systems in the sense of Shalit and Solel arising from stochastic matrices on countable state spaces, and their associated operator algebras. We focus on the non-self-adjoint tensor algebra, and Viselters generalization of the Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebra to the context of subproduct systems. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are Arveson-Stinespring subproduct systems associated to two stochastic matrices over a countable set $Omega$, and let $mathcal{T}_+(X)$ and $mathcal{T}_+(Y)$ be their tensor algebras. We show that every algebraic isomorphism from $mathcal{T}_+(X)$ onto $mathcal{T}_+(Y)$ is automatically bounded. Furthermore, $mathcal{T}_+(X)$ and $mathcal{T}_+(Y)$ are isometrically isomorphic if and only if $X$ and $Y$ are unitarily isomorphic up to a *-automorphism of $ell^infty(Omega)$. When $Omega$ is finite, we prove that $mathcal{T}_+(X)$ and $mathcal{T}_+(Y)$ are algebraically isomorphic if and only if there exists a similarity between $X$ and $Y$ up to a *-automorphism of $ell^infty(Omega)$. Moreover, we provide an explicit description of the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra $mathcal{O}(X)$ in the case where $Omega$ is finite and the stochastic matrix is essential.
Given a C$^*$-correspondence $X$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the tensor algebra $mathcal T_X^+$ to be hyperrigid. In the case where $X$ is coming from a topological graph we obtain a complete characterization.
I. Raeburn and J. Taylor have constructed continuous-trace C*-algebras with a prescribed Dixmier-Douady class, which also depend on the choice of an open cover of the spectrum. We study the asymptotic behavior of these algebras with respect to certain refinements of the cover and appropriate extension of cocycles. This leads to the analysis of a limit groupoid G and a cocycle sigma, and the algebra C*(G, sigma) may be regarded as a generalized direct limit of the Raeburn-Taylor algebras. As a special case, all UHF C*-algebras arise from this limit construction.
In this paper, extending the idea presented by M. Takeuchi in [13], we introduce the notion of partial matched pair $(H,L)$ involving the concepts of partial action and partial coaction between two Hopf algebras $H$ and $L$. Furthermore, we present necessary conditions for the corresponding bismash product $L# H$ to generate a new Hopf algebra and, as illustration, a family of examples is provided.
