Abstract We consider the higher-rank graphs introduced by Kumjian and Pask as models for higher-rank Cuntz–Krieger algebras. We describe a variant of the Cuntz–Krieger relations which applies to graphs with sources, and describe a local convexity condition which characterizes the higher-rank graphs that admit a non-trivial Cuntz–Krieger family. We then prove versions of the uniqueness theorems and classifications of ideals for the $C^*$-algebras generated by Cuntz–Krieger families. AMS 2000…

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…

BRANCHING SYSTEMS FOR HIGHER-RANK GRAPH C*-ALGEBRAS

Abstract We define branching systems for finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. From these, we construct concrete representations of higher-rank graph C*-algebras on Hilbert spaces. We prove a…

Cuntz-Krieger type uniqueness theorem for topological higher-rank graph C*-algebras

We study Sims-Yeend's product system C*-algebras and topological higher-rank graph C*-algebras by Yeend. We give a relation between Katsura's Cuntz-Pimsner covariance and Sims-Yeend's one by a direct…

Cohn Path Algebras of Higher-Rank Graphs

In this article, we introduce Cohn path algebras of higher-rank graphs. We prove that for a higher-rank graph Λ, there exists a higher-rank graph T Λ such that the Cohn path algebra of Λ is…

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…

$\mathbb{N}$-Graph $C^*$-Algebras

In this paper we generalize the notion of a k-graph into (countable) infinite rank. We then define our C∗-algebra in a similar way as in kgraph C∗-algebras. With this construction we are able to find…

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…

Regular Ideals of Locally-Convex Higher-Rank Graph Algebras

. We give a vertex set description for basic, graded, regular ideals of locally-convex Kumjian-Pask Algebras. We also show that Condition (𝐵) is preserved when taking the quotient by a basic,…
