Abstract: An analysis is given of -representations of rank 2 single vertex graphs. We develop dilation theory for the non-selfadjoint algebras Aheta and Au which are associated with the commutation relation permutation heta of a 2 graph and, more generally, with commutation relations determined by a unitary matrix u in . We show that a defect free row contractive representation has a unique minimal dilation to a -representation and we provide a new simpler proof of Solel's row isometric dilation of two u-commuting row contractions. Furthermore it is shown that the C*-envelope of Au is the generalised Cuntz algebra OXu for the product system Xu of u; that for mgeq2 and ngeq2 contractive representations of Ath need not be completely contractive; and that the universal tensor algebra T+(Xu) need not be isometrically isomorphic to Au.
