An equivariant pullback structure of trimmable graph \(C^{\ast}\)-algebras (Q2105632)

Summary: To unravel the structure of fundamental examples studied in noncommutative topology, we prove that the graph \(C^{\ast}\)-algebra \(C^{\ast} (E)\) of a trimmable graph \(E\) is \(U(1)\)-equivariantly isomorphic to a pullback \(C^{\ast}\)-algebra of a subgraph \(C^{\ast}\)-algebra \(C^{\ast} (E^{\prime \prime})\) and the \(C^{\ast}\)-algebra of functions on a circle tensored with another subgraph \(C^{\ast}\)-algebra \(C^{\ast} (E^{\prime})\). This allows us to approach the structure and K-theory of the fixed-point subalgebra \(C^{\ast} (E)^{U(1)}\) through the (typically simpler) \(C^{\ast}\)-algebras \(C^{\ast} (E^{\prime}), C^{\ast} (E^{\prime \prime})\) and \(C^{\ast} (E^{\prime \prime})^{U(1)}\). As examples of trimmable graphs, we consider one-loop extensions of the standard graphs encoding respectively the Cuntz algebra \(\mathcal{O}_2\) and the Toeplitz algebra \(\mathcal{T}\). Then we analyze equivariant pullback structures of trimmable graphs yielding the \(C^{\ast}\)-algebras of the Vaksman-Soibelman quantum sphere \(S_q^{2n +1}\) and the quantum lens space \(L_q^3 (l;1,l)\), respectively.
