The motivating examples are a commutative diagram of Douglas and Howe for the Toeplitz operators on the quarter plane, and the Toeplitz extensions associated by Pimsner and Voiculescu to compute the $K$-theory of a crossed product. The applications are for Hilbert bimodules arising from rank two graphs and from commuting endomorphisms of abelian $C^*$-algebras.Operator Algebras46L05 (Primary); 46L55, 46L80 (Secondary)Iterating the Pimsner constructiontext
