Abstract
Let \({\mathcal {M}}\) be an arbitrary collection of linear-fractional non-automorphism self-maps of the unit disk \(\mathbb {D}\). We consider the unital \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebras \(C^*(T_z, \{C_{\varphi } : \varphi \in {\mathcal {M}}\})\) and \(C^*(\{C_{\varphi } : \varphi \in {\mathcal {M}}\}, {\mathcal {K}})\) generated by the composition operators induced by the maps in \({\mathcal {M}}\) and either the unilateral shift \(T_z\) or the ideal of compact operators \({\mathcal {K}}\) on the Hardy space \(H^2(\mathbb {D})\). We describe the structures of these \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebras, modulo the ideal of compact operators, for all finite collections \({\mathcal {M}}\) as well as all collections \({\mathcal {M}}\) that have finite boundary behavior. This work completes a line of research investigating the structures, modulo the ideal of compact operators, of Toeplitz-composition and composition \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebras induced by linear-fractional non-automorphism self-maps of \(\mathbb {D}\) that has unfolded over the last decade and half. While all results in this paper are stated for \(H^2(\mathbb {D})\), the descriptions of the structures of these \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebras, modulo the ideal of compact operators, also apply to the weighted Bergman spaces \(A^2_{\alpha }(\mathbb {D})\) for \(\alpha > -1\).
