No label defined (Q4215420)

The author summarizes results of his three preprints, published in 1996. From the author's introduction: The non-commutative Bernoulli shift \(\alpha\) is defined on the infinite tensor product \(M=\bigotimes_{j=-\infty}^\infty M_j\) of copies of \(n\times n\)-matrix algebra \(M_j=M\), \(j\in\mathbb{Z}\). The definition of the Bernoulli shift is extended to a large class of automorphisms coming from Jones' index theory for subfactors. Completely non-commutative shifts are automorphisms on the reduced free product of \(C^*\)-algebras and the Cuntz algebra \({\mathcal O}_\infty\) appeared as one of such reduced free products. the Cuntz algebra \({\mathcal O}_n\), \(n\geq 2\), the most interesting \({}*\)-endomorphism appeares as the extension of the similar \({}*\)-endomorphism of a non-commutative Bernouli shift on the semi-infinite tensor product \(N=\bigotimes_{j=0}^\infty M_j\) of copies of \(n\times n\)-matrix algebras \(M_j=M\). The \({}^*\)-endomorphisms bear Cuntz's name. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0889.00022].
