In the present article, we provide several constructions of C*-dynamical systems

with a compact group

in terms of Cuntz–Pimsner algebras. These systems have a minimal relative commutant of the fixed-point algebra

in

, i.e.

, where

is the center of

, which is assumed to be non-trivial. In addition, we show in our models that the group action

has full spectrum, i.e. any unitary irreducible representation of

is carried by a

-invariant Hilbert space within

.
First, we give several constructions of minimal C*-dynamical systems in terms of a single Cuntz–Pimsner algebra

associated to a suitable

-bimodule ℌ. These examples are labelled by the action of a discrete Abelian group ℭ (which we call the chain group) on

and by the choice of a suitable class of finite dimensional representations of

. Second, we present a more elaborate contruction, where now the C*-algebra

is generated by a family of Cuntz–Pimsner algebras. Here, the product of the elements in different algebras is twisted by the chain group action. We specify the various constructions of C*-dynamical systems for the group
