Abstract: Given a unital C*-algebra A, an injective endomorphism alpha:A --> A preserving the unit, and a conditional expectation E from A to the range of alpha we consider the crossed-product of A by alpha relative to the transfer operator L=alpha^{-1}E. When E is of index-finite type we show that there exists a conditional expectation G from the crossed-product to A which is unique under certain hypothesis. We define a "gauge action" on the crossed-product algebra in terms of a central positive element h and study its KMS states. The main result is: if h>1 and E(ab)=E(ba) for all a,b in A (e.g. when A is commutative) then the KMS_�eta states are precisely those of the form psi = phi G, where phi is a trace on A satisfying the identity phi(a) = phi(L(h^{-�eta}ind(E)a)), where ind(E) is the Jones-Kosaki-Watatani index of E.


Given a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\), an injective unital endomorphism \(\alpha:A\to A\) and a conditional expectation \(E\) from \(A\) to the range of \(\alpha\), the author considers the crossed product of \(A\) by \(\alpha\) relative to the transfer operator \(\alpha^{-1}E\). It is shown that, if \(E\) is of index-finite type, then there exists a conditional expectation from the crossed product to \(A\) which is unique under certain hypotheses. A `gauge action' on the crossed product algebra is defined in terms of a central positive element and its KMS states are described.
