ON NORMALIZERS OF C∗-SUBALGEBRAS IN THE CUNTZ ALGEBRA O n 2 1 TOMOHIRO HAYASHI 0 2 n a J Abstract. In this paper we investigate the normalizer NOn(A) of a C∗- 5 subalgebra A ⊂ Fn where Fn is the canonical UHF-subalgebra of type n∞ 2 in the Cuntz algebra On. Under the assumption that the relative commutant ] A′ ∩Fn is finite-dimensional, we show several facts for normalizers of A. In A particular it is shown that the automorphism group {Adu|A | u ∈ NFn(A)} O has a finite index in {AdU|A | U ∈NOn(A)}. . h t a 1. Introduction m [ The purpose of this paper is to investigate the normalizer of C∗-subalgebras 1 in the Cuntz algebra O [1]. Let F be the canonical UHFsubalgebra of O . In n n n v 5 the paper [4], it is shown that the normalizer group NOn(Fn) is a subset of Fn. 9 (In [4], more general results are shown.) More generally, if A is an irreducible 1 5 C∗-subalgebra of O , then the normilizers N (A) is a subset of F . In this . n On n 1 paper we investigate the normalizer N (A) where A is a C∗-subalgebra of F 0 On n 2 witha finite-dimensional relative commutant inF . Inthissetting thenormalizer n 1 N (A) is not a subset of F in general. However we can show that the inner v: On n i automorphism group induced by the elements in NF (A) has a finite index in the X n inner automorphism group induced by the elements in N (A). In order to show r On a this fact, we show that the relative commutant A′∩O is also finite-dimensional. n As a corollary of our investigation, it is shown that the irreducibility A′∩F = C n implies that A′ ∩O = C. Hence in this case the normalizer group N (A) is a n On subset of F . n We would like to explain the motivation of this paper. There is a one-to-one correspondencebetweenallunitariesU(O )andallendomorphismsEnd(O )such n n that U(O ) ∋ u 7→ λ ∈ End(O ) n u n where λ is defined by λ (S ) = uS . The endomorphism λ is called local- u u i i u ized if the corresponding unitary is a matrix in the UHF-algebra F [6, 2]. In the n paper [9] Szymanski showed that the localized endomorphism λ is an inner auto- u morphism if and only if u can be written in some special form. As a consequence, if the localized endomorphism λ is an inner automorphism, then there exists a u 1 2 TOMOHIROHAYASHI unitary U ∈ F such that λ = AdU. Keeping this in mind, we would like to n u consider the following problem. Let λ and λ be two localized endomorphisms. u v If they satisfy AdU ◦ λ = λ , what can we say about U? Can we determine u v such a unitary U? Unfortunately in this paper we cannot say nothing about this problem. But we remark that a localized endomorphism has finite index [6, 8]. Therefore the C∗-algebras λ (F )′∩F and λ (O )′∩O are finite-dimensional. u n n u n n Soweexpect thatourinvestigationwouldbehelpful onthisprobleminthefuture.

Main Results The Cuntz algebra O is the C∗-algebra generated by isometries S ,...,S n 1 n satisfying n S S ∗ = 1. The gauge action γ (z ∈ T) on O is defined by i=1 i i z n γ (S ) = zSP. Let F be the fixed point algebra of the gauge action. This algebra z i i n is isomorphic to the UHF-algebra of type n∞. So F has the unique tracial state n τ. We have a conditional expectation E : O → F defined by n n E(x) = γ (x)dz. z Z T The canonical shift ϕ is defined by ϕ(x) = n S xS∗. It is easy to see that i=1 i i S x = ϕ(x)S and xS ∗ = S ∗ϕ(x). For eaPch x ∈ O , we have the Fourier i i i i n expansion ∞ ∞ x = S∗kx +x + x Sk 1 −k 0 k 1 Xk=1 Xk=1 where x = E(xS∗k), x = E(Skx) and x = E(x). (The right-hand side k 1 −k 1 0 converges in the Hilbert space generated by the GNS-representation with respect to τ ◦E.) For example, if x = S S S∗S∗2S∗, then S2x ∈ F and x = S∗2(S2x) = 1 2 5 8 3 1 n 1 1 S∗2E(S2x). 1 1 For the inclusion of C∗-algebras A ⊂ B, the normalizer group is defined by ∗ ∗ ∗ N (A) = {u ∈ B | uAu = A, uu = u u = 1}. B For a unitary operator u, we define the inner automorphism by Adu(x) = uxu∗. We denote by Adu| the restriction of Adu on A. A The following two theorems are the main results of this paper. Theorem 2.1. Let A be a C∗-subalgebra of F . If the relative commutant A′∩F n n is finite-dimensional, then the algebra A′ ∩O is also finite-dimensional. n ON NORMALIZERS OF C∗-SUBALGEBRAS IN THE CUNTZ ALGEBRA O 3 n Theorem 2.2. Let A be as above. We consider two subgroups of the automor- phism group Aut(A) as follows. G = {AdU| | U ∈ N (A)}, H = {Adu| | u ∈ N (A)}. A On A Fn Then H is a subgroup of G with finite index. We need some preparations to show these theorems. Lemma 2.3. For X ∈ A′∩O , we set x = E(XS∗k) and x = E(SkX). Then n k 1 −k 1 for any a ∈ A we have ax = x ϕk(a), x a = ϕk(a)x and x x∗, x∗ x ∈ k k −k −k k k −k −k A′ ∩F n Proof. For any a ∈ A, we see that ax = aE(XS∗k) = E(aXS∗k) = E(XaS∗k) k 1 1 1 = E(XS∗kϕk(a)) = E(XS∗k)ϕk(a) = x ϕk(a) 1 1 k and therefore x x∗a = x (a∗x )∗ = x (x ϕk(a)∗)∗ = x ϕk(a)x∗ = ax x∗. k k k k k k k k k k In the same way we also have x a = ϕk(a)x and x∗ x a = ax∗ x .

For any integer k ≥ N and any element X ∈ A′ ∩ O , we have x = E(XS∗k) = 0 n k 1 and x = E(SkX) = 0. −k 1 Proof. We compute x∗x = E(XS∗k)∗E(XS∗k) ≤ E(SkX∗XS∗k) ≤ ||X||2E(SkS∗k) = ||X||2SkS∗k. k k 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ′′ Let R = F be the hyperfinite II -factor. We take the polar decomposition n 1 x = v |x | in R. Then the above computation shows that v∗v ≤ SkS∗k. On the k k k k k 1 1 other hand, since x x∗ is an element of the finite-dimensional C∗-algebra A′∩F , k k n we have v v∗ ∈ A′∩F . Since the C∗-algebra A′∩F is finite- dimensional, there k k n n is a positive number c satisfying τ(p) ≥ c for any non-zero projection p ∈ A′∩F . n We can take a positive integer N satisfying τ(SkS∗k) = 1 < c for any k ≥ N. 1 1 nk Then we see that τ(v v∗) = τ(v∗v ) ≤ τ(SkS∗k) < c and hence v v∗ = 0. So k k k k 1 1 k k we conclude that x = 0 for k ≥ N. In the same way we also have x = 0 for k −k k ≥ N. (cid:3) Lemma 2.5. Let N be the positive integer in the previous lemma. For any X ∈ A′ ∩O , we have n N N X = S∗kx +x + x Sk 1 −k 0 k 1 Xk=1 Xk=1 4 TOMOHIROHAYASHI where x = E(XS∗k), x = E(SkX) and x = E(X). k 1 −k 1 0 Proof. We have the Fourier expansion ∞ ∞ X = S∗kx +x + x Sk. 1 −k 0 k 1 Xk=1 Xk=1 (cid:3) Thus by the previous lemma, we are done. Lemma 2.6. We define the isomorphism π on A by k x 0 π (x) = , x ∈ A. k (cid:18)0 ϕk(x)(cid:19) Then we have 0 x 0 x∗ k , −k ∈ π (A)′ ∩M (F ) (cid:18)x∗k 0(cid:19) (cid:18)x−k 0 (cid:19) k 2 n where x = E(XS∗k), x = E(SkX) for X ∈ A′ ∩O . k 1 −k 1 n Proof. This is an immediate consequence of the relations ax = x ϕk(a) and k k x a = ϕk(a)x for a ∈ O . (cid:3) −k −k n Lemma 2.7. The C∗-algebra π (A)′ ∩M (F ) is finite-dimensional. k 2 n Proof. We set 1 0 0 0 ′ B = π (A) ∩M (F ), e = ∈ B, f = = 1−e. k 2 n (cid:18)0 0(cid:19) (cid:18)0 1(cid:19) Then we see that eBe ≃ A′ ∩ F and fBf ≃ ϕk(A)′ ∩ F ≃ M (C) ⊗ (A′ ∩ n n nk F ). So the both algebra eBe and fBf are finite-dimensional and hence B is n finite-dimensional. Indeed the von Neumann algebras eB′′e and fB′′f are finite- dimensional. So the center of B′′ is finite-dimensional. Therefore we may assume that B′′ is a factor. Then the finite-dimensionality of eB′′e and fB′′f ensures that B′′ is finite-dimensional. Therefore B is finite-dimensional. (cid:3) Proof of Theorem 2.1. Consider the vector space V = {x = E(XS∗k) | X ∈ A′ ∩O }. k k 1 n Since the map 0 x ′ V ∋ x 7→ ∈ π (A) ∩M (F ) k (cid:18)x∗ 0(cid:19) k 2 n is injective and R-linear, the vector space V is finite-dimensional. In the same k way the vector space V = {x = E(SkX) | X ∈ A′ ∩O } −k k 1 n ON NORMALIZERS OF C∗-SUBALGEBRAS IN THE CUNTZ ALGEBRA O 5 n is also finite-dimensional. On the other hand, the element x = E(X) belongs to 0 the finite-dimensional C∗-algebra A′∩F . Combining these with Lemma 2.5, we n see that A′ ∩O is finite-dimensional. (cid:3) n Proposition2.8.

Proof. Since A′∩O is finite-dimensional and γ-invariant, there exists an orthog- n onal family of minimal projections e ,...,e ∈ A′ ∩ O and integers k ,...,k 1 l n 1 l such that Aduz(x) = γz(x) where uz = zk1e1+···+zklel and x ∈ A′∩On. Then e ∈ (A′ ∩O )γ = A′ ∩F . (cid:3) i n n Corollary 2.9. If A is an irreducible C∗-subalgebras of F , then we have A′ ∩ n O = C. n Proof. By the previous proposition, we know that there are minimal projections in A′ ∩O such that they belong to A′ ∩F . Thus we are done. (cid:3) n n In the rest of this paper we frequently use the projections e ,...,e ∈ A′ ∩F 1 l n and the unitary uz = zk1e1 +···+zklel in the above proposition. Remark 2.1. The Bratteli diagramof the inclusion A′∩F ⊂ A′∩O has a special n n form. They have a common family of minimal projections. So for each vertex corresponding to a direct summand of A′∩F , there is only one edge which starts n onthis vertex. Forexample, if A′∩F = C, then A′∩O = C. If A′∩F = C⊕C, n n n then A′ ∩O is isomorphic to either C⊕C or M (C). n 2 Lemma 2.10. Let U ∈ O be a unitary satisfying UAU∗ ⊂ F . Then we have n n (i) U∗γ (U) ∈ A′ ∩O . z n (ii) There exists a unitary w ∈ A′ ∩ O and integers m ,...,m such that n 1 l γ (Uwe ) = zmiUwe z i i Proof. For any a ∈ A, since UaU∗ ∈ F , we see that n ∗ ∗ ∗ γ (U)aγ (U) = γ (UaU ) = UaU . z z z Thuswehave U∗γz(U) ∈ A′∩On. Itiseasytosee thatthefamily{U∗γz(U)uz}z∈T is a unitary group. Indeed since U∗γ (U) ∈ A′ ∩O , we see that z n ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ U γ (U)u U γ (U)u = U γ (U)Adu (U γ (U))u z1 z1 z2 z2 z1 z1 z2 z1z2 ∗ ∗ ∗ = U γ (U)γ (U )γ (U)u = U γ (U)u . z1 z1 z1z2 z1z2 z1z2 z1z2 6 TOMOHIROHAYASHI Since {U∗γz(U)uz}z∈T is a unitary group in the finite-dimensional C∗-algebra A′ ∩ O , we can take a unitary w ∈ A′ ∩ O and integers n ,...,n such that n n 1 l w∗U∗γz(U)uzw = zn1e1 +···+znlel. Then we see that γz(Uwei) = γz(U)uzwu∗zei = {Uw(zn1e1 +···+znlel)w∗u∗z}uzwu∗zei = Uw(zn1e1 +···+znlel)u∗zei = zni−kiUwei. (cid:3) Remark 2.2. Bythepreviouslemma, weknowthattheFourierexpansionofU can bewrite down ina finite sum. Indeed if m > 0, then Uwe = (Uwe S∗mi)Smi and i i i 1 1 Uwe S∗mi ∈ F . On the other hand if m < 0, then Uwe = S∗−mi(S−miUwe ) i 1 n i j 1 1 j and S−miUwe ∈ F . Therefore the Fourier expansion of Uw is a finite sum. 1 j n Combining this with Lemma 2.5, we can show that the Fourier expansion of U is a finite sum. Proposition 2.11. For any normalizer U ∈ N (A), there exist unitaries v ∈ O n A′ ∩F and w ∈ A′ ∩O satisfying n n vUw ∈ N (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ). On 1 n 1 l n l Proof. By the previous lemma we have γ (Uwe ) = zmiUwe . Then we get z i i γ (Uwe w∗U∗) = Uwe w∗U∗ and hence Uwe w∗U∗ ∈ F . Since UA′ ∩ O U∗ = z i i i n n A′ ∩ O , we have Uwe w∗U∗ ∈ A′ ∩ F . Thus {Uwe w∗U∗} is a family of n i n i i minimal projections in the finite-dimensional C∗-algebra A′ ∩ F . So we can n find a unitary v ∈ A′ ∩ F satisfying vUwe w∗U∗v∗ = e . Since γ (vUwe ) = n i j z i vγ (Uwe ) = zmivUwe for any x ∈ F , we see that γ ◦ AdvUw(e xe ) = z i i n z i i AdvUw(e xe ). Therefore (vUw)e F e (vUw)∗ ⊂ e F e . On the other hand, i i i n i j n j since γ (w∗U∗v∗e ) = γ (vUwe )∗ = (zmiUwe )∗ = z−miw∗U∗v∗e , we also have z j z i i j (vUw)∗e F e (vUw) ⊂ e F e . Therefore we have j n j i n i AdvUw(e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ) ⊂ e F e ⊕···⊕e F e , 1 n 1 l n l 1 n 1 l n l ∗ ∗ ∗ Adw U v (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ) ⊂ e F e ⊕···⊕e F e 1 n 1 l n l 1 n 1 l n l and hence vUw ∈ N (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ). On 1 n 1 k n k (cid:3) Remark 2.3. The normalizer N (F ) is a subset of F . However the structure On n n of N (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ) is not simple in general. See Examples 2.1 and 2.2. On 1 n 1 l n l Lemma 2.12. Let e ∈ F be a projection. If a partial isometry u ∈ O satisfies n n u∗u = uu∗ = e and ueF eu∗ = eF e, then we have u ∈ F . n n n ON NORMALIZERS OF C∗-SUBALGEBRAS IN THE CUNTZ ALGEBRA O 7 n Proof. Since u∗γ (u) ∈ (eF e)′∩eO e = e(F′ ∩O )e = Ce, we have γ (u) = zmu z n n n n z for some integer m. We will show m = 0. Suppose that m > 0. Set v = uS∗m. 1 Then we have γ (v) = v and hence v ∈ F . Then we compute v∗v = SmeS∗m = z n 1 1 ϕm(e)SmS∗m and vv∗ = uu∗ = e. So we see that τ(e) = τ(vv∗) = τ(v∗v) = 1 1 τ(ϕm(e)SmS∗m) = τ(e) × τ(SmS∗m) = 1 τ(e) < τ(e). This is a contradiction. 1 1 1 1 nm On the other hand, if m < 0, we have γ (u∗) = z−mu∗. So by the same way we z get a contradiction. (cid:3) Lemma 2.13. Let B be the abelian C∗-algebra generated by e ,...,e . Then we 1 l have N (A)∩N (B) ⊂ N (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ). On On On 1 n 1 k n k Proof. The proof is essentially same as that of Lemma 2.10 and Proposition 2.11. For any U ∈ N (A)∩N (B), since U ∈ N (B), we have U∗γ (U) ∈ B′ and On On On z hence U∗γ (U)u ∈ B′. Therefore we can take w = 1 in the proof of Lemma 2.10. z z Then since U ∈ N (B), we have Uwe w∗U∗ = Ue U∗ = e and hence we can On i i j take v = 1 in the proof of Proposition 2.11. Thus by Proposition 2.11, we have U ∈ N (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ). (cid:3) On 1 n 1 k n k Proof of Theorem 2.2. We can choose a finite family of unitaries U ,...,U ∈ 1 N N (A) ∩ N (B) ⊂ N (e F e ⊕ ··· ⊕ e F e ) satisfying the following. For On On On 1 n 1 k n k any V ∈ N (A)∩N (B), there exists U such that AdV = AdU on B. On On i i For any U ∈ N (A), by Proposition 2.11 there exist unitaries v ∈ A′ ∩ F On n and w ∈ A′ ∩ O satisfying vUw ∈ N (e F e ⊕ ··· ⊕ e F e ). Then since n On 1 n 1 k n k vUw ∈ N (A) ∩ N (B), we can take U satisfying AdU∗vUw = id on B. On On i i Combining this with the fact that U ∈ N (e F e ⊕···⊕e F e ) we see that i On 1 n 1 k n k U∗vUwe ∈ N (e F e ) ⊂ F and hence U∗vUw ∈ N (A). Here we used i j ejOnej j n j n i Fn Lemma 2.12. Therefore we see that AdU| = AdvUw| ∈ (AdU | )H. This A A i A implies that the index [G : H] is finite. (cid:3) Example 2.1. Let e be a projection in F . Consider the C∗-algebra A = eF e⊕ n n (1−e)F (1−e). Here we remark that A′∩F = Ce⊕C(1−e). We will show that n n N (A) ⊂ F and hence G = H. This can be shown by K-theoretic argument as On n follows. For any U ∈ N (A), if UeU∗ = e, it follows from Lemma 2.12 that U ∈ F . On n So we consider the case UeU∗ = 1−e. Since U∗γ (U)e ∈ (eF e)′∩eO e = e(F′ ∩ z n n n 8 TOMOHIROHAYASHI O )e = Ce, we have γ (U)e = zmUe for some integer m. We will show m = 0. n z Suppose that m > 0. Set v = UeS∗m. Then we have γ (v) = v and hence v ∈ F . 1 z n Then we compute v∗v = SmeS∗m = ϕm(e)SmS∗m and vv∗ = UeU∗ = 1−e. So 1 1 1 1 we see that 1−τ(e) = τ(vv∗) = τ(v∗v) = τ(ϕm(e)SmS∗m) = τ(e)×τ(SmS∗m) = 1 1 1 1 1 τ(e). Since F is the UHF-algebra of type n∞, we can write τ(e) = q . So we nm n np get 1− q = 1 q and hence np nmnp nm+p = q(1+nm). This is impossible. Indeed, consider the prime factorization n = pk1 ×···×pkn. 1 n Then we have (pk1 ×···×pkn)m+p = q(1+(pk1 ×···×pkn)m). 1 n 1 n Therefore we must have 1+(pk1 ×···×pkn)m = pl1 ×···×pln. 1 n 1 n However this cannot occur because the left hand side has the remainder 1 when dividing by p . 1 Example 2.2. We can write O ⊃ F = M (C)⊗M (C)⊗··· . 2 2 2 2 Consider two projections 1 0 e = ⊗1⊗1⊗··· (cid:18)0 0(cid:19) and 0 0 1 0 f = ⊗ ⊗1⊗··· . (cid:18)0 1(cid:19) (cid:18)0 0(cid:19) Since ϕ(e)S S ∗ ∈ M (C)⊗M (C) and τ(ϕ(e)S S ∗) = 1, there exists a partial 1 1 2 2 1 1 4 isometry v ∈ M (C)⊗M (C) such that v∗v = ϕ(e)S S ∗ and vv∗ = f. We set 2 2 1 1 ∗ U = vS +(vS ) +(1−e−f). 1 1 Then it is easy to see that U ∈ N (eF e⊕fF f ⊕(1−e−f)F (1−e−f)). On n n n We let A = eF e⊕fF f ⊕(1−e−f)F (1−e−f). Since τ(UeU∗) = τ(f) = n n n 1 6= 1 = τ(e), we have 4 2 AdU| 6∈ {Adu| | u ∈ N (A)}. A A Fn Therefore we see that G 6= H. ON NORMALIZERS OF C∗-SUBALGEBRAS IN THE CUNTZ ALGEBRA O 9 n Remark 2.4.
