Abstract
Let T1 and T2 be homogeneous trees of even degree ≧ 4. A BM group Γ is a torsion-free discrete subgroup of Aut(T1)×Aut(T2)
which acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of T1×T2.
This article studies dynamical systems associated with BM groups.
A higher rank Cuntz-Krieger algebra A(Γ) is associated both with a 2-dimensional tiling system and with a boundary action of a BM group Γ. An explicit expression is given for the K-theory of A(Γ). In particular K0=K1.
A complete enumeration of possible BM groups Γ is given for a product homogeneous trees of degree 4, and the K-groups are computed.
