If omega(1), omega(2) are two pure gauge-invariant states of the Cuntz alge
bra O-d, we show that there is an automorphism alpha of O-d such that omega
(1) = omega(2) circle alpha. If omega is a general pure state on O-d and ph
i(0) is a given Cuntz state, we show that there exists an endomorphism alph
a of O-d such that phi(0) = omega circle alpha. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
