Let ${\rm Rep}\,{\cal O}_n$ denote the category of all nondegenerate $^*$ representations of the Cuntz algebra ${\cal O}_n$. For any $2\leq n,m<\infty$, we construct an isomorphism functor $F_{n,m}$ from ${\rm Rep}\,{\cal O}_m$ to ${\rm Rep}\,{\cal O}_n$.
For an arbitrary state $ω$ on a Cuntz algebra, we define a number $1\leq κ(ω)\leq \infty$ such that if the GNS representations of $ω$ and $ω'$ are unitarily equivalent, then $κ(ω)=κ(ω')$. By using $κ$, we define minimal states and it is shown that the classification problem of states is reduced to that of minimal states. By using results of Dutkay, Haussermann, and Jorgensen, we give a sufficient condition of the minimality of a state. Properties of $κ$ and examples are shown. As an application, a new invariant of a certain class of endomorphisms of ${\cal B}({\cal H})$ is given.
Let ${\cal O}_n$ denote the Cuntz algebra for $n\geq 2$. We introduce an embedding $f$ of ${\cal O}_m$ into ${\cal O}_n$ arising from a geometric progression of Cuntz generaters of ${\cal O}_n$. By identifying ${\cal O}_m$ with $f({\cal O}_m)$, we extend Cuntz states on ${\cal O}_m$ to ${\cal O}_n$. We show (i) a necessary and sufficient condition of the uniqueness of the extension, (ii) the complete classification of all such extensions up to unitary equivalence of their GNS representations, and (iii) the decomposition formula of a mixing state into a convex hull of pure states. The complete set of invariants of all GNS representations by such pure states is given as a certain set of complex unit vectors.
Let ${\cal O}_n$ denote the Cuntz algebra for $2\leq n<\infty$. With respect to a homogeneous embedding of ${\cal O}_{n^m}$ into ${\cal O}_n$, an extension of a Cuntz state on ${\cal O}_{n^m}$ to ${\cal O}_n$ is called a sub-Cuntz state, which was introduced by Bratteli and Jorgensen. We show (i) a necessary and sufficient condition of the uniqueness of the extension, (ii) the complete classification of pure sub-Cuntz states up to unitary equivalence of their GNS representations, and (iii) the decomposition formula of a mixing sub-Cuntz state into a convex hull of pure sub-Cuntz states. Invariants of GNS representations of pure sub-Cuntz states are realized as conjugacy classes of nonperiodic homogeneous unit vectors in a tensor-power vector space. It is shown that this state parameterization satisfies both the $U(n)$-covariance and the compatibility with a certain tensor product. For proofs of main theorems, matricizations of state parameters and properties of free semigroups are used.
We consider a family of continued fraction expansions of any number in the unit closed interval $[0,1]$ whose digits are differences of consecutive non-positive integer powers of an integer $m \geq 2$. For this expansion, we apply the method of Rockett and Szüsz from [6] and obtained the solution of its Gauss-Kuzmin type problem.
Let ${\Bbb F}_{n}$ be the free group of rank $n$ and let $\bigoplus C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n})$ denote the direct sum of full group C$^{*}$-algebras $C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n})$ of ${\Bbb F}_{n}$ $(1\leq n<\infty$). We introduce a new comultiplication $Δ_φ$ on $\bigoplus C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n})$ such that $(\bigoplus C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n}),\,Δ_φ)$ is a non-cocommutative C$^{*}$-bialgebra. With respect to $Δ_φ$, the tensor product $π\otimes_φπ'$ of any two representations $π$ and $π'$ of free groups is defined. The operation $\ptimes$ is associative and non-commutative. We compute its tensor product formulas of several representations.
A new construction method of $R$-matrix is given. Let $A$ be a C$^{*}$-bialgebra with a comultiplication $Δ$. For two states $ω$ and $ψ$ of $A$ which satisfy certain conditions, we construct a unitary $R$-matrix $R(ω,ψ)$ of the C$^{*}$-bialgebra $(A,Δ)$ on the tensor product of GNS representation spaces associated with $ω$ and $ψ$. The set $\{R(ω,ψ):ω,ψ\}$ satisfies a kind of Yang-Baxter equation. Furthermore, we show a nontrivial example of such $R$-matrices for a non-quasi-cocommutative C$^{*}$-bialgebra.
We construct a nontrivial inverse system of Cuntz algebras $\{{\cal O}_{n}:2\leq n<\infty\}$, whose inverse limit is *-isomorphic onto ${\cal O}_{\infty}$. By using this result, it is shown that the $K_{0}$-functor is discontinuous with respect to the inverse limit even if the limit is a C$^{*}$-algebra.
Let ${\cal A}_{0}(*)$ denote the direct sum of a certain set of UHF algebras and let ${\cal A}(*)\equiv {\bf C}\oplus {\cal A}_{0}(*)$. We introduce a non-cocommutative comultiplication $Δ_ϕ$ on ${\cal A}(*)$, and give an example of comodule-C$^{*}$-algebra of the C$^{*}$-bialgebra $({\cal A}(*),Δ_ϕ)$. With respect to $Δ_ϕ$, we define a non-symmetric tensor product of *-representations of UHF algebras and show tensor product formulas of GNS representations by product states.
We introduced a new continued fraction expansions in our previous paper. For these expansions, we show formulae of probability about incomplete quotients. Furthermore, we prove the existence of invariant measures with respect to the continued fraction transformations associated with expansions.
We show that the inductive limit of a certain inductive system of quasi-cocommutative C$^{*}$-bialgebras is not quasi-cocommutative. This implies that the category of quasi-cocommutative C$^{*}$-bialgebras is not closed with respect to the inductive limit.
Let $M_{*}({\bf C})$ denote the C$^{*}$-algebra defined as the direct sum of all matrix algebras $\{M_{n}({\bf C}):n\geq 1\}$. It is known that $M_{*}({\bf C})$ has a non-cocommutative comultiplication $Δ_φ$. We show that the C$^{*}$-bialgebra $(M_{*}({\bf C}),Δ_φ)$ has a universal $R$-matrix $R$ such that the quasi-cocommutative C$^{*}$-bialgebra $(M_{*}({\bf C}),Δ_φ,R)$ is triangular.
For a C$^{*}$-bialgebra $A$ with a comultiplication $Δ$, a universal $R$-matrix of $(A,Δ)$ is defined as a unitary element in the multiplier algebra $M(A\otimes A)$ of $A\otimes A$ which is an intertwiner between $Δ$ and its opposite comultiplication $Δ^{op}$. We show that there exists no universal $R$-matrix for some C$^{*}$-bialgebras.
We introduce a non-symmetric tensor product of representations of UHF algebras by using Kronecker products of matrices. We prove tensor product formulae of GNS representations by product states and show examples.
The direct sum ${\cal O}_{*}$ of all Cuntz algebras has a non-cocommutative comultiplication $Δ_φ$ such that there exists no antipode of any dense subbialgebra of the C$^{*}$-bialgebra $({\cal O}_{*},Δ_φ)$. From states equations of ${\cal O}_{*}$ with respect to the tensor product, we construct an operator $W$ for $({\cal O}_{*},Δ_φ)$ such that $W^{*}$ is an isometry, $W(x\otimes I)W^{*}=Δ_φ(x)$ for each $x\in {\cal O}_{*}$ and $W$ satisfies the pentagon equation.
Let ${\cal O}_{*}$ be the C$^{*}$-algebra defined as the direct sum of all Cuntz algebras. Then ${\cal O}_{*}$ has a non-cocommutative comultiplication $Δ_ϕ$ and a counit $ε$. Let ${\rm BI}({\cal O}_{*})$ denote the set of all closed biideals of the C$^{*}$-bialgebra $({\cal O}_{*},Δ_ϕ,ε)$ and let ${\cal P}({\bf P})$ denote the power set of the set of all prime numbers. We show a one-to-one correspondence between ${\rm BI}({\cal O}_{*})$ and ${\cal P}({\bf P})$. Furthermore, we show that for any ${\cal I}$ in ${\rm BI}({\cal O}_{*})$, there exists a C$^{*}$-subbialgebra ${\cal B}_{\cal I}$ of ${\cal O}_{*}$ such that ${\cal O}_{*}={\cal B}_{\cal I}\oplus {\cal I}$, and the set of all such C$^{*}$-subbialgebras is a lattice with respect to the natural operations among C$^{*}$-subbialgebras, which is isomorphic to the lattice ${\cal P}({\bf P})$.
We completely classify type III factor representations of Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated with quasi-free states up to unitary equivalence. Furthermore, we realize these representations on concrete Hilbert spaces without using GNS construction. Free groups and their type ${\rm II}_{1}$ factor representations are used in these realizations.
We show a correspondence between simple continued fraction expansions of irrational numbers and irreducible permutative representations of the Cuntz algebra ${\cal O}_{\infty}$. With respect to the correspondence, it is shown that the equivalence of real numbers with respect to modular transformations is equivalent to the unitary equivalence of representations. Furthermore, we show that quadratic irrationals are related to irreducible permutative representations of ${\cal O}_{\infty}$ with a cycle.
