Non-cyclotomic Presentations of Modules and Prime-order Automorphisms of Kirchberg Algebras

We prove the following theorem: let $A$ be a UCT Kirchberg algebra, and let $\alpha$ be a prime-order automorphism of $K_{\ast }(A)$, with $\alpha ([1_A])=[1_A]$ in case $A$ is unital. Then $\alpha$ is induced from an automorphism of $A$ having the same order as $\alpha$. This result is extended to certain instances of an equivariant inclusion of Kirchberg algebras. As a crucial ingredient we prove the following result in representation theory: every module over the integral group ring of a cyclic group of prime order has a natural presentation by generalized lattices with no cyclotomic summands.
