contents Let $p$ be an odd rational prime and consider the cyclotomic number field $K = \mathbb{Q}(ζ_{p})$ of conductor $p$. We construct a directed graph $Y$ on $p-1$ vertices for which the torsion part of the corresponding Bowen--Franks group is closely related to the minus part of the class group of $K$. In particular, both groups have the same cardinality up to an explicit power of $p$. Furthermore, they are both $\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbb{Q})$-modules, and we prove the equality of the cardinalities of their isotypic components after tensoring them with the valuation ring of an appropriate $\ell$-adic field for $\ell \nmid p-1$.

We construct a directed graph $Y$ on $p-1$ vertices for which the torsion part of the corresponding Bowen--Franks group is closely related to the minus part of the class group of $K$.
