Popis: In this note we analyze the C ∗ C^{\ast } -algebra associated with a branched covering both as a groupoid C ∗ C^{\ast } -algebra and as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. We determine conditions when the algebra is simple and purely infinite. We indicate how to compute the K-theory of several examples, including one related to rational maps on the Riemann sphere.
