Abstract: In this article we construct a C*-dynamical system with partition function the Dedekind zeta function of a given number field and with a phase transition at the pole of this zeta function which detects a breaking of symmetry with respect to a natural symmetry group. This extends work of Bost-Connes and Harari-Leichtnam.

Keywords: C*-Hecke Algebras, zeta functions, C*-dynamical systems
