Abstract

For certain AF algebras, a topological space is described which provides an isomorphism invariant for the algebras in this class. These AF algebras can be described in graphical terms by virtue of the existence of a certain type of Bratteli diagram, and the order-preserving automorphisms of the corresponding AF algebra's dimension group are then studied by utilizing this graph. This will also provide information about the automorphism groups of the corresponding AF algebras.
