Self-similar \(k\)-graph \(C^*\)-algebras



Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a notion of a self-similar action of a group G on a k-graph Lambda, and associate it a universal C*-algebra OG,Lambda. We prove that OG,Lambda can be realized as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a product system. If G is amenable and the action is pseudo free, then OG,Lambda is shown to be isomorphic to a "path-like" groupoid C*-algebra. This facilitates studying the properties of OG,Lambda. We show that OG,Lambda is always nuclear and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem; we characterize the simplicity of OG,Lambda in terms of the underlying action; and we prove that, whenever OG,Lambda is simple, there is a dichotomy: it is either stably finite or purely infinite, depending on whether Lambda has nonzero graph traces or not. Our main results generalize the recent work of Exel and Pardo on self-similar graphs.
