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 periodicity group of the graph. The groupoid of the k-graph then acts on the cartesian product of the infinite-path space of the graph with the dual group of the centre of any bicharacter representing this second-cohomology class. The twisted k-graph algebra is simple if and only if this action is…

Simplicity of twisted C*-algebras of Deaconu--Renault groupoids

We consider Deaconu–Renault groupoids associated to actions of finite-rank free abelian monoids by local homeomorphisms of locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We study simplicity of the twisted…

In a recent series of papers, Kumjian, Pask and Sims [2–5] have investigated the effect of ‘twisting’ C∗-algebras associated to higher-rank graphs using a categorical 2-cocycle on the graph. This…

Abstract We consider fibrewise singly generated Fell bundles over étale groupoids. Given a continuous real-valued 1-cocycle on the groupoid, there is a natural dynamics on the cross-sectional algebra…

Unbounded quasitraces, stable finiteness and pure infiniteness

We prove that if A is a \sigma-unital exact C*-algebra of real rank zero, then every state on K_0(A) is induced by a 2-quasitrace on A. This yields a generalisation of Rainone's work on pure…

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…

Crossed products and twisted k-graph algebras

An automorphismof a k-graphinduces a crossed product C � (�) ⋊� Z which is isomorphic to a (k+1)-graph algebra C � (�×�Z). In this paper we show how this process interacts with k-graph C � -algebras…
