Title: Normal Generation of Unitary Groups of Cuntz Algebras by Involutions
Author: A. Al-Rawashdeh
Appeared in: Acta mathematica Universitatis Comenianae
Paging: Volume LXXVII (2008) nr. 1 pages 1-7
Year: 2008
Contents: In purely infinite factors, P. de la Harpe proved that a normal subgroup of the unitary group which contains a non-trivialself-adjoint unitary contains all self-adjoint unitaries of thefactor. Also he proved the same result in finite continuous factors. In a previous work the author proved a similar result in some typesof unital AF-algebras. In this paper we extend the result of de la Harpe, concerning the purely infinite factors to a main example ofpurely infinite <i>C</i><sup>*</sup>-algebras called the Cuntz algebras O<i><sub>n</sub></i>(2 <FONT SIZE='3' FACE='Symbol'>£</FONT> <i>n</i> <FONT SIZE='3' FACE='Symbol'>£</FONT> <FONT SIZE='3' FACE='Symbol'>¥</FONT>) and we prove that <i>U</i>(O<i><sub>n</sub></i>) is normally generated by some non-trivial involution. In particular, in the Cuntz algebra O<i><sub><FONT SIZE='3' FACE='Symbol'>¥</FONT></sub></i> we prove that <i>U</i>(O<i><sub><FONT SIZE='3' FACE='Symbol'>¥</FONT></sub></i>) is normally generated by self-adjoint unitary of odd type.
