Abstract

We consider a construction of $C^*$-algebras from
continuous piecewise monotone maps on the circle which generalizes
the crossed product construction for homeomorphisms and more
generally the construction of Renault, Deaconu and
Anantharaman-Delaroche for local homeomorphisms. Assuming that the
map is surjective and not locally injective we give necessary and sufficient
conditions for the simplicity of the $C^*$-algebra and show that it
is then a Kirchberg algebra. We provide tools for the
calculation of the K-theory groups and turn them into an
algorithmic method for Markov maps.
