Abstract
We introduce Cuntz-Pimsner algebras from the point of view of crossed products by C*-correspondences. Strong emphasis is put on the discussion of examples. In particular, we show that the Cuntz-Krieger algebras for infinite matrices recently introduced by Exel and Laca are Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, leading to a much simplified computation of their K-theory, as well as a characterization of simplicity in the unital case.
