Abstract:

Noncommutative multivariable versions of weighted shift operators arise naturally as `weighted' left creation operators acting on the Fock space Hilbert space. We identify a natural notion of periodicity for these $N$-tuples, and then find a family of inductive limit algebras determined by the periodic weighted shifts which can be regarded as noncommutative multivariable generalizations of the Bunce-Deddens $\ca$-algebras. We establish this by proving that the $\ca$-algebras generated by shifts of a given period are isomorphic to full matrix algebras over Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras. This leads to an isomorphism theorem which parallels the Bunce-Deddens and UHF classification scheme.
