Circle correspondence $C^*$-algebras

Abstract

We investigate Cuntz-Pimsner $C^*$-algebras associated with certain correspondences of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We analyze these $C^*$-algebras by analogy with irrational rotation algebras $A_\theta$ and Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$. We construct a Rieffel type projection, study the fixed point algebras of certain actions of finite groups, and calculate the entropy of a certain endomorphism. We also study the induced map of the dual action of the gauge action on $K$-groups.
