Abstract

Let Aθ be the universal C*-algebra generated by a pair U, V of unitaries satisfying VU = eiθUV where θ = p/q with p, q∈ℤ, 0 < p < q and (p, q) = 1. It is shown that every endomorphism of Aθ is unital, injective and centre preserving. The corresponding surjections of T2 are characterized and it is shown that the determinants of the associated endomorphisms of K1(Aθ)≅ℤ2 are congruent to 1 modulo q.
