In this note we prove that the algebras $L_K(E)$ and $KE$ have the same entropy. Entropy is always referred to the standard filtrations in the corresponding kind of algebra. The main argument leans on (1) the holomorphic functional…

Given a directed graph E we describe a method for constructing a Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ whose coefficients are in a commutative unital ring R. We prove versions of the Graded Uniqueness Theorem and Cuntz-Krieger Uniqueness Theorem…

For a field K and directed graph E, we analyze those elements of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) which lie in the commutator subspace [L_K(E), L_K(E)]. This analysis allows us to give easily computable necessary and sufficient conditions to…

If $E$ is a directed graph and $K$ is a field, the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E)$ of $E$ over $K$ is naturally graded by the group of integers $\mathbb Z.$ We formulate properties of the graph $E$ which are equivalent with $L_K(E)$ being a…

Given an arbitrary graph E and a field K, the prime ideals as well as the primitive ideals of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) are completely described in terms of their generators. The stratification of the prime spectrum of L_K(E) is…

We obtain a complete structural characterization of Cohn-Leavitt algebras over no-exit objects as graded involutive algebras. Corollaries of this result include graph-theoretic conditions characterizing when a Leavitt path algebra is a…

Let $E$ be a finite directed graph, and let $I$ be the poset obtained as the antisymmetrization of its set of vertices with respect to a pre-order $\le$ that satisfies $v\le w$ whenever there exists a directed path from $w$ to $v$. Assuming…

This article is the first of two where we investigate to what extent homotopy invariant, excisive and matrix stable homology theories help one distinguish between the Leavitt path algebras $L(E)$ and $L(F)$ of graphs $E$ and $F$ over a…

The Algebraic Kirchberg-Phillips Question for Leavitt path algebras asks whether unital $K$-theory is a complete isomorphism invariant for unital, simple, purely infinite Leavitt path algebras over finite graphs. Most work on this problem…

Given an arbitrary graph $E$ we investigate the relationship between $E$ and the groupoid $G_E$. We show that there is a lattice isomorphism between the lattice of pairs $(H, S)$, where $H$ is a hereditary and saturated set of vertices and…

We raise the following general question regarding a ring graded by a group: "If $P$ is a ring-theoretic property, how does one define the graded version $P_{\operatorname{gr}}$ of the property $P$ in a meaningful way?". Some properties of…

Let E be an arbitrary graph, K be any field and let L be the corresponding Leavitt path algebra. Necessary and sufficient conditions (which are both algebraic and graphical) are given under which all the irreducible representations of L are…

Let $E$ be a row-finite quiver and let $E_0$ be the set of vertices of $E$; consider the adjacency matrix $N'_E=(n_{ij})\in\Z^{(E_0\times E_0)}$, $n_{ij}=#\{$ arrows from $i$ to $j\}$. Write $N^t_E$ and 1 for the matrices $\in…

Let $K$ be a field, let $E$ be a finite directed graph, and let $L_K(E)$ be the Leavitt path algebra of $E$ over $K$. We show that for a prime ideal $P$ in $L_K(E)$, the following are equivalent: \begin{enumerate} \item $P$ is primitive;…

Let $L_K(E)$ be the Leavitt path algebra of a directed graph $E$ over a field $K$. In this paper, we determine $E$ and $K$ for the Lie algebra $\mathbf{K}_{L_K(E)}$ and the Jordan algebra $\mathbf{S}_{L_K(E)}$ arising from $L_K(E)$ with…

A group graded $K$-algebra $A=\bigoplus\limits_{g\in G} A_g$ is called "locally finite" if $\dim_K A_g < \infty$ for every $g\in G$. We characterise the weighted graphs $(E,w)$ for which the weighted Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E,w)$ is…

While every matrix algebra over a field $K$ can be realized as a Leavitt path algebra, this is not the case for every graded matrix algebra over a graded field. We provide a complete description of graded matrix algebras over a field,…

The construction of the Leavitt path algebra associated to a directed graph $E$ is extended to incorporate a family $C$ consisting of partitions of the sets of edges emanating from the vertices of $E$. The new algebras, $L_K(E,C)$, are…

Let $E$ be a directed graph, $K$ any field, and let $L_K(E)$ denote the Leavitt path algebra of $E$ with coefficients in $K$. We show that $L_K(E)$ is a B\'{e}zout ring, i.e., that every finitely generated one-sided ideal of $L_K(E)$ is…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a row-finite graph E so that the Leavitt path algebra L(E) is purely infinite simple. This result provides the algebraic analog to the corresponding result for the Cuntz-Krieger C$^*$-algebra…
