Abstract
- Topological quivers generalize the notion of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact (second countable) Hausdorff spaces. Associated to a topological quiver $Q$ is a $C^*$-correspondence, and in turn, a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra $C^*(Q).$ Given $\Gamma$ a locally compact group and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ endomorphisms on $\Gamma,$ one may construct a topological quiver $Q_{\alpha,\beta}(\Gamma)$ with vertex set $\Gamma,$ and edge set $\Omega_{\alpha,\beta}(\Gamma)= \{(x,y)\in\Gamma\times\Gamma\st \alpha(y)=\beta(x)\}.$ In this paper, the author examines the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra $\cO_{\alpha,\beta}(\Gamma):=C^*(Q_{\alpha,\beta}(\Gamma)).$ The investigative topics include a notion for topological quiver isomorphisms, generators (and their relations) of the $C^*$-algebras $\cO_{\alpha,\beta}(\Gamma)$, and its spatial structure (i.e., colimits, tensor products and crossed products) and a few properties of its $C^*$-subalgebras.<br />Comment: 40 pages
