The Rigidity of the Kernels of the Natural Morphisms between Toeplitz Algebras

Let (G, E) be a quasi-ordered group such that E∩E -1 is infinite, (G, G +) an ordered group with G +EG, and (G, G 1) the partially ordered group induced by (G, E).Let γ E, G + ∶T G + →T E and γ E, G 1 ∶T G 1 →T E be the corresponding natural morphisms between Toeplitz algebras. We prove that the kernel Ker γ E, G + is rigid,while Ker γ E, G 1 is equal to the compact-operator ideal on 2(G 1), and all Fredholm operators in the Toeplitz algebra T G 1 are of index zero.

Deformation Retraction of Groups and Toeplitz Algebras

Let （G, G＋） be a quasi-partial ordered group such that G＋^0=G＋∩G＋^-1 is a non-trivial subgroup of G. Let [G] be the collection of left cosets and [G＋] be its positive. Denote by T^G＋ and T^[G＋] the associated Toeplitz algebras. We prove that T^G＋ is unitarily isomorphic to a C^＊-subalgebra of T^｜G＋｜⊙（G＋^＋） if there exists a deformation retraction from G onto G＋^0. Suppose further that G＋^0 is normal, then ,T^G＋ and ,T^｜G＋｜⊙GT^＊（G＋^0） are unitarily equivalent.

Twisted Semigroup Crossed Products and Twisted Toeplitz Algebras of Ordered Groups

Let г^＋ be the positive cone of a totally ordered abelian group г, and σa cocycle in г. We study the twisted crossed products by actions of г＋ as endomorphisms of C^＊-algebras, and use this to generalize the theorem of Ji.

THE MINIMAL CLOSED NON-TRIVIAL IDEALS OF TOEPLITZ ALGEBRAS ON DISCRETE GROUPS

Let G be a discrete group and (G, G+) an ordered group. Let (G, GF) be the minimal quasiordered group containing (G, G+). Let G+ (G) and (G) be the corresponding Toeplitz algebras, and γGF,G+ the natural C*-algebra morphism from G+ (G) to GF(G). This paper studies the connection between Ker GF,G+ and the minimal closed ideal ofTG+ (G). It is proved that if G is amenable and GF≠G+, then Ker γGF,G+ is exactly the minimal closed non-trivial ideal of G+ (G). As an application, in the last part of this paper, a character of K-groups of Toeplitz algebras on ordered groups is clarified.

TOEPLITZ ALGEBRAS ON DISCRETE GROUPS AND THEIR NATURAL MORPHISMS

Let G be a discrete group, E1 and E2 be two subsets of G with E1 () E2, and e ∈ E2. Denote by TE1 and TE2 the associated Toeplitz algebras. In this paper, it is proved that the natural morphism γE2,E1 from TE1 to TE2 exists as a C*-morphism if and only if E2 is finitely covariant-lifted by E1. Based on this necessary and sufficient condition, some applications are made.

TOEPLITZ OPERATORS AND ALGEBRAS ON DIRICHLET SPACES

The automorphism group of the Toeplitz C^*- algebra, J(C^1), generated by Toeplitz op-erators with C^1-symbols on Dirichlet space D is discussed; the K0, K1-groups and the first cohomology group of J(C^1) are computed. In addition, the author proves that the spectra of Toeplitz operators with C^1-symbols are always connected, and discusses the algebraic prop-erties of Toeplitz operators.In particular, it is proved that there is no nontrivial selfadjoint Toeplitz operator on D and Tψ^* = Tψ^- if and only if Tψ is a scalar operator.

Automorphisms of the Toeplitz algebra with piecewise continuous symbol

The automorphism group of the Toeplitz algebra generated by the Toeplitz operators, whose symbols are continuous functions on the circle beside finitely fixed points, is characterized.
