Abstract

To any periodic, unital and full C*-dynamical system (A, α, R) an invertible operator s acting on the Banach space of trace functionals of the fixed point algebra is canonically associated. KMS states correspond to positive eigenvectors of s. A Perron-Frobenius type theorem asserts the existence of KMS states at inverse temperatures equal the logarithms of the inner and outer spectral radii of s (extremal KMS states). Examples arising from subshifts in symbolic dynamics, self-similar sets in fractal geometry and noncommutative metric spaces are discussed. Certain subshifts are naturally associated to the system and the relationship between their topological entropy and inverse temperatures of extremal KMS states are given. Noncommutative shift maps are considered. It is shown that their entropy is bounded by the sum of the entropy of the associated subshift and a suitable entropy computed in the homogeneous subalgebra. Examples are discussed among Matsumoto algebras associated to certain non finite type subshifts. The CNT entropy is compared to the classical measure-theoretic entropy of the subshift. A noncommutative analogue of the classical variational principle for the entropy of subshifts is obtained for the noncommutative shift of certain Matsumoto algebras. More generally, a necessary condition is discussed. In the case of Cuntz-Krieger algebras an explicit construction of the state with maximal entropy from the unique KMS state is done.

Pointwise convergence of noncommutative discrete spherical ergodic averages

In this paper, we establish spherical maximal inequalities associated with commuting trace-preserving automorphisms on von Neumann algebras, extending Magyar-Stein-Wainger's discrete spherical maximal inequalities to the noncommutative setting. On a noncommutative probability space, we further prove that, under a strong ergodicity assumption, the corresponding discrete spherical averages converge bilaterally almost uniformly to $τ(x)1$ for every $x\in L_p(\mathcal M)$, $\frac{d}{d-2}<p\leq\infty$, when $d\geq5$.

Values of Rokhlin Dimension for Integer Actions

For an action of the integers on a C*-algebra, we show that the only possible values for the Rokhlin dimension (with commuting towers) are $0,1,2$ and $+\infty$. We study these values for certain classes of C*-algebras, and show that there is an automorphism of the Jiang--Su algebra with the property that its Rokhlin dimension with and without commuting towers are distinct.

Algebras, Kernels and Correspondences

This is a nearly complete draft of our paper in which we attempt to do three things. First, we show that when formulated in the context of reproducing kernel correspondences over Rieffel's category, Normod-$M$, the Kolmogorov decomposition/representation theorem of Ball, Marx, and Vinnikov is functorial in $M$. Second, we investigate relations between our work and the work of Clouâtre and Hartz concerning multipliers of reproducing kernels. This investigation leads to interesting questions about the geometry of the matricial unit disc associated with a correspondence over $M$. And third, we describe how some of the recent work of Salomon, Shalit and Shamovich may be formulated in our setting. This leads to the notion of subvarieties, their quotients, and their relation with the structure of reproducing correspondences.
