C*-algebras associated to shift spaces
  These are some notes I wrote for the summer school "Symbolic dynamics and homeomorphisms of the Cantor set" at the University of Copenhagen, 23 - 27 June 2008.   The notes contain the definition of the C*-algebra associated to a shift space and some basic facts about these. The notes furthermore contain a proof of the fact that the C*-algebra associated to a shift space is a one-sided conjugacy invariant, and a proof of the fact that the Morita equivalence class of the C*-algebra associated to a shift space is a two-sided conjugacy and a flow invariant. The notes also contain a section (without proofs) about the K-theory of C*-algebras associated to shift spaces.   The notes are written for people without a background in operator algebra and contains a short appendix about C*-algebras, Morita equivalence and K-theory of C*-algebras.
