Perron–Frobenius operators and representations of the Cuntz–Krieger algebras for infinite matrices

AbstractIn this paper we extend the work of Kawamura, see [K. Kawamura, The Perron–Frobenius operators, invariant measures and representations of the Cuntz–Krieger algebras, J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005)], for Cuntz–Krieger algebras OA for infinite matrices A. We generalize the definition of branching systems, prove their existence for any given matrix A and show how they induce some very concrete representations of OA. We use these representations to describe the Perron–Frobenius operator, associated to a nonsingular transformation, as an infinite sum and under some hypothesis we find a matrix representation for the operator. We finish the paper with a few examples
