Abstract

We describe a method of adding tails to C∗-correspondences which generalizes the process used in the study of graph C∗-algebras. We show how this technique can be used to extend results for augmented Cuntz-Pimsner algebras to C∗-algebras associated to general C∗-correspondences, and as an application we prove a gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem for these algebras. We also define a notion of relative graph C∗-algebras and show that properties of these C∗-algebras can provide insight and motivation for results about relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras.
