Abstract We introduce new formulations of aperiodicity and cofinality for finitely aligned higher-rank graphs Λ, and prove that C*(Λ) is simple if and only if Λ is aperiodic and cofinal. The main advantage of our versions of aperiodicity and cofinality over existing ones is that ours are stated in terms of finite paths. To prove our main result, we first characterise each of aperiodicity and cofinality of Λ in terms of the ideal structure of C*(Λ). In an appendix we show how our new cofinality…

Aperiodicity Conditions in Topological $k$-Graphs

We give two new conditions on topological $k$-graphs that are equivalent to the Yeend's aperiodicity Condition (A). Each of the new conditions concerns finite paths rather than infinite. We use a…

Groupoids and C * -algebras for categories of paths

In this paper we describe a new method of defining C*-algebras from oriented combinatorial data, thereby generalizing the constructions of algebras from directed graphs, higher-rank graphs, and…

CO-UNIVERSAL C*-ALGEBRAS ASSOCIATED TO APERIODIC k-GRAPHS

Abstract We construct a representation of each finitely aligned aperiodic k-graph Λ on the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}^{\rm ap}$ with basis indexed by aperiodic boundary paths in Λ. We show that the…

GRAPHS AND CROSSED PRODUCTS BY QUASIFREE ACTIONS

We characterise simplicity of twisted C � -algebras of row-finite k-graphs with no sources. We show that each 2-cocycle on a cofinal k-graph determines a canonical second-cohomology class for the…

Simplicity of 2-Graph Algebras Associated to Dynamical Systems

We give a combinatorial description of a family of 2-graphs which sub- sumes those described by Pask, Raeburn and Weaver. Each 2-graphwe consider has an associated C � -algebra, denoted C � (�),…

Aperiodicity and primitive ideals of row-finite k-graphs

This work describes the primitive ideal space of the C*-algebra of a row-finite k-graph with no sources when every ideal is gauge invariant and proves some new results on aperiodicity.

Simplicity of algebras associated to étale groupoids

We prove that the full C∗-algebra of a second-countable, Hausdorff, étale, amenable groupoid is simple if and only if the groupoid is both topologically principal and minimal. We also show that if G…

Remarks on some fundamental results about higher-rank graphs and their C*-algebras

Abstract Results of Fowler and Sims show that every k-graph is completely determined by its k-coloured skeleton and collection of commuting squares. Here we give an explicit description of the…

Simplicity of C*‐algebras associated to higher‐rank graphs

We prove that if Λ is a row‐finite k‐graph with no sources, then the associated C*‐algebra is simple if and only if Λ is cofinal and satisfies Kumjian and Pask's aperiodicity condition, known as…

Simplicity of C*-algebras associated to row-finite locally convex higher-rank graphs

In a previous work, the authors showed that the C*-algebra C*(Λ) of a row-finite higher-rank graph Λ with no sources is simple if and only if Λ is both cofinal and aperiodic. In this paper, we…

The uniqueness of Cuntz-Krieger type algebras

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.…

SIMPLICITY OF FINITELY-ALIGNED k-GRAPH C -ALGEBRAS
