We generalize the Wold decomposition and Coburn's theorem on isometries to scaling elements. We also completely determine when the C^*-algebra generated by a scaling element contains an infinite projection.8 pagesOperator AlgebrasFunctional Analysis46L05, 47B20C^*-algebras generated by scaling elementstext
