Abstract

Let E be a row-finite directed graph, let G be a locally compact abelian group with dual group Ĝ = Γ, let ω be a labeling map from E* to Γ, and let (C*(E), G, α ω) be the C*-dynamical system defined by ω. Some mappings concerning the AF-embedding construction of \(C*(E) \times _{\alpha ^\omega } G\) are studied in more detail. Several necessary conditions of AF-embedding and some properties of almost proper labeling map are obtained. Moreover it is proved that if E is constructed by attaching some 1-loops to a directed graph T consisting of some rooted directed trees and G is compact, then ω is almost proper, that is a sufficient condition for AF-embedding, if and only if Σ k j=1 \(\omega _{\gamma _j } \ne 1_\Gamma\) for any loop γ i , γ 2, ..., γ k attached to one path in T.
