On the Simplicity of C$^*$-algebras Associated to Multispinal Groups

Abstract

We characterize the simplicity of universal C$^*$-algebras arising from multispinal groups. Let $\mathcal{O}_{G_{\max}}$ be the universal C$^*$-algebra associated to a multispinal group $G$. We show that the invertibility of a matrix completely determines the simplicity of $\mathcal{O}_{G_{\max}}$.
