$C^*$-algebras associated to coverings of $k$-graphs
Documenta mathematica, Tome 13 (2008), pp. 161-205
A covering of k-graphs (in the sense of Pask–Quigg–Raeburn) induces an embedding of universal C∗-algebras. We show how to build a (k+1)-graph whose universal algebra encodes this embedding. More generally we show how to realise a direct limit of k-graph algebras under embeddings induced from coverings as the universal algebra of a (k+1)-graph. Our main focus is on computing the K-theory of the (k+1)-graph algebra from that of the component k-graph algebras. Examples of our construction include a realisation of the Kirchberg algebra Pn whose K-theory is opposite to that of On, and a class of AT-algebras that can naturally be regarded as higher-rank Bunce–Deddens algebras.
