$C^*$-algebras associated with endomorphisms of groups

Summary: In this work we construct a $C^*$-algebra from an injective endomorphism of a discrete group $G$ allowing the endomorphism to have infinite cokernel. We generalize some results obtained by I. Hirshberg and by J. Cuntz together with A. Vershik. For certain cases of the above construction, we show that Kirchberg's classification theorem can be applied.
