Extract

Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space with orthonormal basis {ei: i ∈ ℕ}, let s be the unilateral shift defined by sei = ei+1 for each i and let K be the algebra of compact operators on H. The present paper classifies the involutory *-anti-automorphisms in the C*-algebra C*(sn, K) generated by K and a positive integral power sn of s. It is shown that, up to conjugacy by *-automorphisms, there are two such involutory *-antiautomorphisms when n is even and one when n is odd.
