Multiplicative groups of Leavitt path algebras

Rings and Algebras 2023-03-21 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the multiplicative group of a unital non-commutative Leavitt path algebra LK(E)L_K(E) and Cohn path algebra CK(E)C_K(E) contain a non-cyclic free subgroup, provided KK is a non-absolute field. We also provide a description of the generators of free subgroups in term of the graph EE. Finally, we determine multiplicative groups of Leavitt path algebras of some special types.
