$C^*$-algebras associated to coverings of $k$-graphs
@article{Kumjian2006CalgebrasAT, title={\$C^*\$-algebras associated to coverings of \$k\$-graphs}, author={Alex Kumjian and David Pask and Aidan Sims}, journal={Documenta Mathematica}, year={2006} }
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. More generally we show how to realise a direct limit of k-graph algebras under embeddings induced from coverings as the universal algebra of a (k+1)-graph. 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…
