Connes-Stφrmer entropy H(·) extended the entropy invariant of Kolmogorov-Sinai to trace preserving automorphisms of finite von Neumann algebras ([CS]). Replacing a finite trace to an invariant state φ, Connes-NarnhoferThirring entropy hφ(·) is defined for automorphisms of C∗-algebras as a generalization of H(·) ([CNT]). These entropies depend on an invariant state under a given automorphism. The first typical interesting example to compute the entropy is the Bernoulli shift βn on the infinite product space of n-point sets. In the context of operator algebras (von Neumann algebras or C∗-algebras), the non-commutative Bernoulli shift αn takes the place of the the Bernoulli shift βn. It is the shift automorphism on the infinite tensor product A = ⊗∞ i=−∞Ai (where Ai is the n×n-matrix algebra) and H(αn) = logn = hτ (αn) ([CS], [CNT]), where τ is the unique tracial state of A. Ler γ be an aperiodic automorphism of an algebra B. Then there exists an implimenting unitary operator u for γ in the crossed product M = B oγ Z . The inner automorphism Adu, (Adu(x) = uxu∗) of M is an extension of γ to M. In general, the entropy of γ is less than the entropy of Adu. Stφrmer [S] asked if the equality between the entropies of γ and Adu holds. Voiculescu [V] defined topological entropy ht(·) for automorphisms of nuclear C∗-algebras (cf. [Hu], [T]), which does not depend on any state but is based on approximations. As an application, he showed that his topological entropy satisfies the equality for the Bernoulli shift βn, so that Connes-Narnhofer-Thirring entropy does too. In this paper, we show the equality for both of the automorphism αn and the unital *-endomorphism of the type of the non-commutative Bernoulli shift.
