Partial translation algebras for certain discrete metric spaces

The notion of a partial translation algebra was introduced by Brodzki, Niblo and Wright in [11] to provide an analogue of the reduced group C*-algebra for metric spaces. Such an algebra is constructed from a partial translation structure, a structure which any bounded geometry uniformly discrete metric space admits; we prove that these structures restrict to subspaces and are preserved by uniform bijections, leading to a new proof of an existing theorem. We examine a number of examples of partial translation structures and the algebras they give rise to in detail, in particular studying cases where two different algebras may be associated with the same metric space. We introduce the notion of a map between partial translation structures and use this to describe when a map of metric spaces gives rise to a homomorphism of related partial translation algebras. Using this homomorphism, we construct a C*-algebra extension for subspaces of groups, which we employ to compute K-theory for the algebra arising from a particular subspace of the integers. We also examine a way to form a groupoid from a partial translation structure, and prove that in the case of a discrete group the associated C*-algebra is the same as the reduced group C*-algebra. In addition to this we present several subsidiary results relating to partial translations and cotranslations and the operators these give rise to.
