Spectral triples on irreversible C*-dynamical systems

Given a spectral triple on a C*-algebra together with a unital injective endomorphism α, the problem of defining a suitable crossed product C*-algebra endowed with a spectral triple is addressed. The proposed construction is mainly based on the works of Cuntz and [A. Hawkins, A. Skalski, S. White and J. Zacharias, On spectral triples on crossed products arising from equicontinuous actions, Math. Scand. 113(2) (2013) 262-291], and on our previous papers [V. Aiello, D. Guido and T. Isola, Spectral triples for noncommutative solenoidal spaces from self-coverings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 448(2) (2017) 1378-1412; V. Aiello, D. Guido and T. Isola, A spectral triple for a solenoid based on the Sierpinski gasket, SIGMA Symmetry Integrability Geom. Methods Appl. 17(20) (2021) 21]. The embedding of α(A) in can be considered as the dual form of a covering projection between noncommutative spaces. A main assumption is the expansiveness of the endomorphism, which takes the form of the local isometricity of the covering projection, and is expressed via the compatibility of the Lip-norms on and α(A).
