THE K-THEORY OF THE ${\mathit{C}}^{\star }$ -ALGEBRAS OF 2-RANK GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS

Abstract Using a result of Vdovina, we may associate to each complete connected bipartite graph $\kappa $ a two-dimensional square complex, which we call a tile complex, whose link at each vertex is $\kappa $ . We regard the tile complex in two different ways, each having a different structure as a $2$ -rank graph. To each $2$ -rank graph is associated a universal $C^{\star }$ -algebra, for which we compute the K-theory, thus providing a new infinite collection of $2$ -rank graph algebras with explicit K-groups. We determine the homology of the tile complexes and give generalisations of the procedures to complexes and systems consisting of polygons with a higher number of sides.
