Crossed products of the Cantor set by free minimal actions of \(\mathbb Z^d\). (English) Zbl 1084.46056

Summary: Let \(d\) be a positive integer, let \(X\) be the Cantor set, and let \(\mathbb Z^d\) act freely and minimally on \(X\). We prove that the crossed product \(C*(\mathbb Z^d,X)\) has stable rank one, real rank zero, and cancellation of projections, and that the order on \(K_0(C*(\mathbb Z^d,X))\) is determined by traces. We obtain the same conclusion for the \(C*\)-algebras of various kinds of aperiodic tilings.
