Abstract: We consider the simplicity of the C∗-algebra associated to a labelled space , where (E,CL) is a labelled graph and is the smallest accommodating set containing all generalized vertices. We prove that if is simple, then is strongly cofinal, and if, in addition, for every vertex v, then is disagreeable. It is observed that is simple whenever is strongly cofinal and disagreeable, which is recently known for the C∗-algebra C∗(E,CL,CEa) associated to a labelled space (E,CL,CEa) of the smallest accommodating set CEa.


A \textit{labelled graph} is a pair \((E,\mathcal L)\), where \(E\) is a directed graph and \(\mathcal L\) is a map from \(E^1\) (the set of arrows of \(E\)) to a countable alphabet \(\mathcal A\). A \textit{labelled space} is a triple \((E, \mathcal L, \mathcal B)\), where \((E,\mathcal L)\) is a labelled graph and \(\mathcal B\) is an \textit{accommodating set}, which is a certain subset of \(2^{E^0}\) closed under suitable operations. \textit{T. Bates} and \textit{D. Pask} introduced in [``\(C^*\)-algebras of labelled graphs, J. Oper. Theory 57, No. 1, 207--226 (2007; Zbl 1113.46049)] the concept of the graph \(C^{*}\)-algebra \(C^*(E,\mathcal L, \mathcal B)\) of a labelled space \((E,\mathcal L, \mathcal B)\). In the present paper, the authors study the simplicity of the graph \(C^{*}\)-algebras \(C^*(E,\mathcal L,\mathcal E)\), where \(\mathcal E\) is either the smallest accommodating set \(\mathcal E ^{0,-}\) or the smallest accommodating set containing all the generalized vertices \(\overline{\mathcal E}\). Under suitable hypotheses, they find a characterization of simplicity for these \(C^{*}\)-algebras. Part of their work is based on the article [``\(C^{*}\)-algebras of labelled graphs. II. Simplicity results., Math. Scand. 104, No. 2, 249--274 (2009; Zbl 1247.46046)] by \textit{T. Bates} and \textit{D. Pask}.
