Variations of primeness and Factorization of ideals in Leavitt Path Algebras

Rings and Algebras 2021-01-26 v3

Abstract

In this paper we describe three different variations of prime ideals: strongly irreducible ideals, strongly prime ideals and insulated prime ideals in the context of Leavitt path algebras. We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which a proper ideal of a Leavitt path algebra LL is a product as well as an intersection of finitely many of these different types of prime ideals. Such factorizations, when they are irredundant, are shown to be unique except for the order of the factors. We also characterize the Leavitt path algebras LL in which every ideal admits such factorizations and also in which every ideal is one of these special type of ideals.
