Abstract

Congruence monoids in the ring of integers are given by certain unions of arithmetic progressions. To each congruence monoid, there is a canonical way to associate a semigroup C*-algebra. I will explain this construction and then discuss joint work with Xin Li on K-theoretic invariants. I will also indicate how all of this generalizes to congruence monoids in the ring of integers of an arbitrary algebraic number field.
