Abstract

Using fusion rules of sectors as a working hypothesis, we construct endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra\(\mathcal{O}_n \) whose images have finite Watatani indices. Quasi-free KMS states on\(\mathcal{O}_n \) appear in a natural way associated with the endomorphisms, and we determine the Murray-von Neumann-Connes types of their GNS representations.
