Abstract:
We show that every point $x_0\in [0,1]$ carries a representation of a $C^*$-algebra that encodes the orbit structure of the linear mod 1 interval map $f_{\beta,\alpha}(x)=\beta x +\alpha$. Such $C^*$-algebra is generated by partial isometries arising from the subintervals of monotonicity of the underlying map
$f_{\beta,\alpha}$. Then we prove that such representation is irreducible. Moreover two such of representations are unitarily equivalent if and only if the points belong to the same generalized orbit, for every $\alpha\in [0,1[$ and $\beta\geq 1$.
Keywords:
interval maps, symbolic dynamics, $C^*$-algebras, representations of algebras.
