Abstract
Let Λ = Zn with lexicographic ordering. Λ is a totally ordered group. Let
X = Λ+ * Λ+.
Then X is a Λ-tree. Analogous to the construction of graph C*-algebras, we form a groupoid whose unit space is the space of ends of the tree. The C*-algebra of the Λ-tree is defined as the C*-algebra of this groupoid. We prove some properties of this C*-algebra.
