Reinhardt domains, boundary geometry, and Toeplitz \(C^*\)-algebras (Q749825)

The author gives an explicit method to describe the structure of the Toeplitz \(C^*\)-algebra of a Reinhardt domain D in \({\mathbb{C}}^ 2\), satisfying some mild boundary conditions, in terms of rotation \(C^*\)- algebras. These rotation algebras are based on the degree of contact with the boundary curve of the logarithmic domain C of D at each point of intersection with the linear faces of the convex hull of C and on the slopes of these faces. It turns out that the Toeplitz \(C^*\) algebra of D and that of the pseudoconvex hull \(\tilde D\) are in general not isomorphic, but they are always of the same type. This means that the isomorphism class of the Toeplitz \(C^*\)-algebra of D is changed by taking the pseudoconvex hull of D. The proofs are based on the groupoid \(C^*\)-algebra approach [e.g. \textit{P. S. Muhly} and \textit{J. N. Renault}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 274, 1-44 (1982; Zbl 0509.46049)].
