A covering of k-graphs (in the sense of Pask-Quigg-Raeburn) induces an embedding of universal C*-algebras. We show how to build a (k+1)-graph whose universal algebra encodes this embedding.

Our main focus is on computing the K-theory of the (k+1)-graph algebra from that of the component k-graph algebras. Examples of our construction include…

Twisted k-Graph Algebras Associated to Bratteli Diagrams

Given a system of coverings of k-graphs, we show that the second cohomology of the resulting (k + 1)-graph is isomorphic to that of any one of the k-graphs in the system, and compute the semifinite…

GENERALISED MORPHISMS OF k-GRAPHS: k-MORPHS

In a number of recent papers, (k + l)-graphs have been constructed from k-graphs by inserting new edges in the last l dimensions. These constructions have been motivated by C � -algebraic…

Simplicity of the C*-algebras of skew product k-graphs

We consider conditions on a $k$-graph $\Lambda$, a semigroup $S$ and a functor $\eta : \Lambda \to S$ which ensure that the $C^*$-algebra of the skew-product graph $\Lambda \times_\eta S$ is simple.…

Real rank and topological dimension of higher rank graph algebras

We study dimension theory for the $C^*$-algebras of row-finite $k$-graphs with no sources. We establish that strong aperiodicity - the higher-rank analogue of condition (K) - for a $k$-graph is…

COVERINGS OF SKEW-PRODUCTS AND CROSSED PRODUCTS BY COACTIONS

Abstract Consider a projective limit G of finite groups Gn. Fix a compatible family δn of coactions of the Gn on a C*-algebra A. From this data we obtain a coaction δ of G on A. We show that the…

Structure theory and stable rank for C*-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs

Abstract We study the structure and compute the stable rank of $C^{*}$-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs. We completely determine the stable rank of the $C^{*}$-algebra when the $k$-graph either…

Ample groupoids: equivalence, homology, and Matui's HK conjecture

We investigate the homology of ample Hausdorff groupoids. We establish that a number of notions of equivalence of groupoids appearing in the literature coincide for ample Hausdorff groupoids, and…

The $C^*$-Algebras of Arbitrary Graphs

To an arbitrary directed graph we associate a row-finite directed graph whose C*-algebra contains the C*-algebra of the original graph as a full corner. This allows us to generalize results for…
