Abstract

Let EE be an arbitrary directed graph and let LL be the Leavitt path algebra of the graph EE over a field KK. It is shown that every ideal of LL is an intersection of primitive/prime ideals in LL if and only if the graph EE satisfies Condition (K). Uniqueness theorems in representing an ideal of LL as an irredundant intersection and also as an irredundant product of finitely many prime ideals are established. Leavitt path algebras containing only finitely many prime ideals and those in which every ideal is prime are described. Powers of a single ideal II are considered and it is shown that the intersection n=1In{\displaystyle\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}}I^{n} is the largest graded ideal of LL contained in II. This leads to an analogue of Krull's theorem for Leavitt path algebras.
