Abstract:
For a pure state on , which is an extension of a pure state on with the property that if is a corresponding representation, then , induces a unital shift of of the Powers index . We describe states on by using sequences of unit vectors in . We study the linear functionals on the Cuntz algebra whose restrictions are the product pure state on . We find conditions on the sequence of unit vectors for which the corresponding linear functionals on become states under these conditions.
