Noncommutative topological entropy of endomorphisms of Cuntz algebras II (Q653283)

Noncommutative topological entropy of \(C^*\)-algebras, introduced by D. Voiculescu, is an invariant generalizing the classical topological entropy of continuous transformations of compact spaces. In the first part of the paper by the author and \textit{J. Zacharias} [``Noncommutative topological entropy of endomorphisms of Cuntz algebras'', Lett. Math. Phys. 86, No. 2--3, 115--134 (2008; Zbl 1182.46055)], the Voiculescu entropy of certain permutations of the Cuntz algebra generalizing the canonical shift is computed. Their properties can be studied via combinatorial methods. In this paper this result is extended to endomorphisms which are not necessarily of permutation type. In particular it is shown that if \(H\) is an \(N\)-dimensional Hilbert space, \(V\) is an irreducible multiplicative unitary on \(H\otimes H\) and \(F:H\otimes H \rightarrow H\otimes H\) is the tensor flip, then the Voiculescu entropy of Longo's canonical endomorphism \(\rho_v F\in \text{End}({\mathcal O}_N)\) is equal to \(\log N\).
