C^\ast-algebras from Anzai flows and their K-groups

Publication date 24 November 2003

Abstract: We study the

C^{*}

-algebra

m a t h c a l A_{n, h e t a}

generated by the Anzai flow on the

n

-dimensional torus

m a t h b b T^{n}

. It is proved that this algebra is a simple quotient of the group

C^{*}

-algebra of a lattice subgroup

m a t h f r a k D_{n}

of a

(n + 2)

-dimensional connected simply connected nilpotent Lie group

F_{n}

whose corresponding Lie algebra is the generic filiform Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k f_{n}

. Other simple infinite dimensional quotients of

C^{*} (m a t h f r a k D_{n})

are also characterized and represented as matrix algebras over simple affine Furstenberg transformation group

C^{*}

-algebras of the lower dimensional tori. The

K

-groups of the

m a t h c a l A_{n, h e t a}

and other simple quotients of

C^{*} (m a t h f r a k D_{n})

are studied, the Pimsner-Voiculescu 6-term exact sequence being a useful tool. The rank of the

K

-groups of

m a t h c a l A_{n, h e t a}

is studied as explicitly as possible, and is proved to be the same as for more general transformation group

C^{*}

-algebras of

m a t h b b T^{n}

including the Furstenberg transformation group ext{

C^{*}

-algebras}

A_{F_{f, h e t a}}

. An error (about these

K

-groups) in the literature is addressed.
