%0 Journal Article %T $C^*$-algebras arising from substitutions %A Masaru Fujino %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X In this paper, we introduce a $C^{\ast}$-algebra associated with a proper primitive substitution. We show that the $C^{\ast}$-algebra is simple and purely infinite and contains the associated Cuntz-Krieger algebra and the crossed product $C^{\ast}$-algebra of the corresponding Cantor minimal system. We calculate the $K$-groups. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.3354v2
