Periodic higher rank graphs revisited

Let $P$ be a finitely generated cancellative abelian monoid. A $P$-graph $Λ$ is a natural generalization of a higher rank graph. A pullback of $Λ$ is constructed by pulling it back over a given monoid morphism to $P$, while a pushout of $Λ$ is obtained by modding out its periodicity $\PerΛ$, which is deduced from a natural equivalence relation on $Λ$. One of our main results in this paper shows that, for a class of higher rank graphs $Λ$, $Λ$ is isomorphic to the pullback of its pushout via a natural quotient map, and that its graph C*-algebra can be embedded into the tensor product of the graph C*-algebra of its pushout and $\ca(\PerΛ)$. As a consequence, its cycline C*-algebra generated by the standard generators with equivalent pairs is an abelian core (particularly a MASA). Along the way, we give an in-depth study on periodicity of $P$-graphs.
