Abstract: Let mathcalC be a C*-algebra and alpha:mathcalCightarrowmathcalC a unital *-endomorphism. There is a natural way to construct operator algebras which are called semicrossed products, using a convolution induced by the action of alpha on mathcalC. We show that the C*-envelope of a semicrossed product is (a full corner of) a crossed product. As a consequence, we get that, when alpha is *-injective, the semicrossed products are completely isometrically isomorphic and share the same C*-envelope, the crossed product mathcalCinftytimesalphainftymathbbZ. We show that minimality of the dynamical system (mathcalC,alpha) is equivalent to non-existence of non-trivial Fourier invariant ideals in the C*-envelope. We get sharper results for commutative dynamical systems.
