Equilibrium states on right LCM semigroup C*-algebras

Abstract

We determine the structure of equilibrium states for a natural dynamics on the boundary quotient diagram of $C^*$-algebras for a large class of right LCM semigroups. The approach is based on abstract properties of the semigroup and covers the previous case studies on $\mathbb{N} \rtimes \mathbb{N}^\times$, dilation matrices, self-similar actions, and Baumslag-Solitar monoids. At the same time, it provides new results for large classes of right LCM semigroups, including those associated to algebraic dynamical systems.Comment: 43 pages, to appear in Int. Math. Res. No
