Abstract

We consider the universal non-self-adjoint operator algebra by left-covariant representations of an injective hereditary semigroup dynamical system over an abelian semigroup. Using dilation techniques, we prove that its C*-envelope is the semigroup crossed product C*-algebra. This leads to a number of new examples of non-self-adjoint operator algebras with their C*-envelope, in particular, with many from number fields.
