Given a unimodal interval map f , we construct partial isometries acting on Hilbert spaces associated to the orbit of each point. Then we prove that such partial isometries give rise to representations of a C∗-algebra associated to the subshift encoding the kneading sequence of the critical point. This construction has the advantage of incorporating maps with a non necessarily Markov partition (e.g. Fibonacci unimodal map). If we are indeed in the presence of a finite Markov partition, then we prove that these new representations coincide with the (previously considered by the authors) representations arising from the Cuntz–Krieger algebra of the underlying (finite) transition matrix.
