Given a self-similar $K$ set defined from an iterated function system $Gamma=(gamma_1,ldots,gamma_n)$ and a set of function $H={h_i:Ktomathbb{R}}_{i=1}^d$ satisfying suitable conditions, we define a generalized gauge action on Kawjiwara-Watatani algebras $mathcal{O}_Gamma$ and their Toeplitz extensions $mathcal{T}_Gamma$. We then characterize the KMS states for this action. For each $betain(0,infty)$, there is a Ruelle operator $mathcal{L}_{H,beta}$ and the existence of KMS states at inverse temperature $beta$ is related to this operator. The critical inverse temperature $beta_c$ is such that $mathcal{L}_{H,beta_c}$ has spectral radius 1. If $beta<beta_c$, there are no KMS states on $mathcal{O}_Gamma$ and $mathcal{T}_Gamma$; if $beta=beta_c$, there is a unique KMS state on $mathcal{O}_Gamma$ and $mathcal{T}_Gamma$ which is given by the eigenmeasure of $mathcal{L}_{H,beta_c}$; and if $beta>beta_c$, including $beta=infty$, the extreme points of the set of KMS states on $mathcal{T}_Gamma$ are parametrized by the elements of $K$ and on $mathcal{O}_Gamma$ by the set of branched points.

For a finite, strongly connected $k$-graph $Lambda$, an Huef, Laca, Raeburn and Sims studied the KMS states associated to the preferred dynamics of the $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(Lambda)$. They found that these KMS states are determined by the periodicity of $Lambda$ and a certain Borel probability measure $M$ on the infinite path space $Lambda^infty$ of $Lambda$. Here we consider different dynamics on $C^*(Lambda)$, which arise from a functor $y: Lambda to mathbb{R}_+$ and were first proposed by McNamara in his thesis. We show that the KMS states associated to McNamaras dynamics are again parametrized by the periodicity group of $Lambda$ and a family of Borel probability measures on the infinite path space. Indeed, these measures also arise as Hausdorff measures on $Lambda^infty$, and the associated Hausdorff dimension is intimately linked to the inverse temperatures at which KMS states exist. Our construction of the metrics underlying the Hausdorff structure uses the functors $y: Lambda to mathbb{R}_+$; the stationary $k$-Bratteli diagram associated to $Lambda$; and the concept of exponentially self-similar weights on Bratteli diagrams.
Given a positive function on the set of edges of an arbitrary directed graph $E=(E^0,E^1)$, we define a one-parameter group of automorphisms on the C*-algebra of the graph $C^*(E)$, and study the problem of finding KMS states for this action. We prove that there are bijective correspondences between KMS states on $C^*(E)$, a certain class of states on its core, and a certain class of tracial states on $C_0(E^0)$. We also find the ground states for this action and give some examples.
In this paper, we discuss a method of constructing separable representations of the $C^*$-algebras associated to strongly connected row-finite $k$-graphs $Lambda$. We begin by giving an alternative characterization of the $Lambda$-semibranching function systems introduced in an earlier paper, with an eye towards constructing such representations that are faithful. Our new characterization allows us to more easily check that examples satisfy certain necessary and sufficient conditions. We present a variety of new examples relying on this characterization. We then use some of these methods and a direct limit procedure to construct a faithful separable representation for any row-finite source-free $k$-graph.
In this paper we consider a bootstrap class $mathfrak C$ of countable discrete groups, which is closed under countable unions and extensions by the integers, and we study actions of such groups on C*-algebras. This class includes all torsion-free abelian groups, poly-$mathbb Z$-groups, as well as other examples. Using the interplay between relative Rokhlin dimension and semi-strongly self-absorbing actions established in prior work, we obtain the following two main results for any group $Gammainmathfrak C$ and any strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra $mathcal D$: (1) There is a unique strongly outer $Gamma$-action on $mathcal D$ up to (very strong) cocycle conjugacy. (2) If $alpha: Gammacurvearrowright A$ is a strongly outer action on a separable, unital, nuclear, simple, $mathcal D$-stable C*-algebra with at most one trace, then it absorbs every $Gamma$-action on $mathcal D$ up to (very strong) cocycle conjugacy. In fact we establish more general relati
Given a graph $E$, an action of a group $G$ on $E$, and a $G$-valued cocycle $phi$ on the edges of $E$, we define a C*-algebra denoted ${cal O}_{G,E}$, which is shown to be isomorphic to the tight C*-algebra associated to a certain inverse semigroup $S_{G,E}$ built naturally from the triple $(G,E,phi)$. As a tight C*-algebra, ${cal O}_{G,E}$ is also isomorphic to the full C*-algebra of a naturally occurring groupoid ${cal G}_{tight}(S_{G,E})$. We then study the relationship between properties of the action, of the groupoid and of the C*-algebra, with an emphasis on situations in which ${cal O}_{G,E}$ is a Kirchberg algebra. Our main applications are to Katsura algebras and to certain algebras constructed by Nekrashevych from self-similar groups. These two classes of C*-algebras are shown to be special cases of our ${cal O}_{G,E}$, and many of their known properties are shown to follow from our general theory.
