K-theoretic invariants of the Toeplitz operator system and its dual, and of all graph operator systems

Abstract

We compute $K$-theoretic invariants for several finite-dimensional operator systems. These include the Toeplitz operator system and its dual (the Fejér-Riesz operator system), as well as operator systems associated to tolerance relations, aka graph operator systems. A variety of techniques is applied, adapted to each of these cases, ranging from a generalization of Carathéodory's factorization result for block Toeplitz matrices, to Wiener-Hopf factorization and Schur complements. In most instances we find that the invariants coincide with their analogues for the $C^{\ast }$-envelope, except for the $K_1$-invariants of the Fejér-Riesz operator system.
