Limits of Inductive Sequences of Toeplitz–Cuntz Algebras

Abstract

Abstract: We consider inductive sequences of Toeplitz–Cuntz algebras. The connecting homomorphisms of such a sequence are defined by a finite set of sequences of positive integers. We prove that the inductive limit of such a sequence of Toeplitz–Cuntz algebras is isomorphic to the reduced semigroup C*-algebra constructed for the unitalization of the free product of a finite family of semigroups of positive rational numbers. We show that the limit of the inductive sequence of Toeplitz–Cuntz algebras defined by a finite set of sequences of positive integers is a simple C*-algebra.
