To an $r$-dimensional subshift of finite type satisfying certain special properties we associate a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$. This algebra is a higher rank version of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. In particular, it is simple, purely infinite and nuclear. We study an example: if $\G$ is a group acting freely on the vertices of an $\wt A_2$ building, with finitely many orbits, and if $\Omega$ is the boundary of that building, then $C(\Om)\rtimes \G$ is the algebra associated to a certain two dimensional…

Abstract We introduce a class of C*-algebras which can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Cuntz-Krieger algebras. Our approach is based on a flexible “generators and relations”-concept.
