We consider the Hecke pair consisting of the group PK+ of affine transformations of a number field K that preserve the orientation in every real embedding and the subgroup PO+ consisting of transformations with algebraic integer coefficients. The associated Hecke algebra Crâ(PK+,PO+) has a natural time evolution Ï, and we describe the corresponding phase transition for KMSÎČ-states and for ground states. From work of Yalkinoglu and Neshveyev it is known that a BostâConnes type system associated to K has an essentially unique arithmetic subalgebra. When we import this subalgebra through the isomorphism of Crâ(PK+,PO+) to a corner in the BostâConnes system established by Laca, Neshveyev and TrifkoviÄ, we obtain an arithmetic subalgebra of Crâ(PK+,PO+) on which ground states exhibit the âfabulousâ property with respect to an action of the Galois group G(KabâH+(K)), where H+(K) is the narrow Hilbert class field.In order to characterize the ground states of the Câ-dynamical system (Crâ(PK+,PO+),Ï), we obtain first a characterization of the ground states of a groupoid Câ-algebra, refining earlier work of Renault. This is independent from number theoretic considerations, and may be of interest by itself in other situations.
