Purely infinite simple $C^*$-algebras arising from free product constructions

Examples of simple, separable, unital, purely infinite $C^*$--algebras are constructed, including: (1) some that are not approximately divisible; (2) those that arise as crossed products of any of a certain class of $C^*$--algebras by any of a certain class of non--unital endomorphisms; (3) those that arise as reduced free products of pairs of $C^*$--algebras with respect to any from a certain class of states.

Crossed product decompositions of a purely infinite von Neumann algebra with faithful, almost periodic weight

For $\MvN$ a separable, purely infinite von Neumann algebra with almost periodic weight $ϕ$, a decomposition of $\MvN$ as a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra by a trace--scaling action of a countable abelian group is given. Then Takasaki's continuous decomposition of the same algebra is related to the above discrete decomposition via Takesaki's notion of induced action, but here one induces up from a dense subgroup. The above results are used to give a model for the one--parameter trace--scaling action of $\Real_+$ on the injective II$_\infty$ factor. Finally, another model of the same action, due to work of Aubert and explained by Jones, is described.
