Abstract

Let β: Sn → Sn, for n = 2k + 1, k ≥ 1, be one of the known examples of a non-uniquely ergodic minimal diffeomorphism of an odd dimensional sphere. For every such minimal dynamical system (Sn, β) there is a Cantor minimal system (X, α) such that the corresponding product system (X x Sn, αx β) is minimal and the resulting crossed product C*-algebra C(X x Sn) \rtimesαx β ℤ is tracially approximately an interval algebra (TAI). This entails classification for such C*-algebras. Moreover, the minimal Cantor system (X, α) is such that each tracial state on C(X x Sn) \rtimesβ ℤ induces the same state on the K0-group and such that the embedding of C(Sn) \rtimesβ ℤ into C(X x Sn) \rtimesαx β ℤ preserves the tracial state space. This implies C(Sn) \rtimesβ ℤ is TAI after tensoring with the universal UHF algebra, which in turn shows that the C*-algebras of these examples of minimal diffeomorphisms of odd dimensional spheres are classified by their tracial state spaces.
