We define Leavitt path algebras of hypergraphs generalizing simultaneously Leavitt path algebras of finitely separated graphs and Leavitt path algebras of row-finite vertex-weighted graphs. We find linear bases for those algebras, compute…

For any field K and directed graph E, we completely describe the elements of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) which lie in the commutator subspace [L_K(E),L_K(E)]. We then use this result to classify all Leavitt path algebras L_K(E) that…

We provide inverse semigroup and groupoid models for the Toeplitz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras of finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. Using these models, we prove a uniqueness theorem for the Cuntz-Krieger algebra.

For a commutative ring $R$ with unit we show that the Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ of a graph $E$ embeds into $L_{2,R}$ precisely when $E$ is countable. Before proving this result we prove a generalised Cuntz-Krieger Uniqueness Theorem for…

Any finite dimensional semisimple algebra A over a field K is isomorphic to a direct sum of finite dimensional full matrix rings over suitable division rings. In this paper we will consider the special case where all division rings are…

This survey of the recent developments in the investigations of a Leavitt path algebra L of an arbitrary graph E over a field K consists of two parts. In the first part describes how very often a single graph property of E implies multiple…

We relate two conjectures which have been raised for classification of Leavitt path algebras. For purely infinite simple unital Leavitt path algebras, it is conjectured that K_0 classifies them completely. For arbitrary Leavitt path…

Let R0 be a commutative associative ring (not necessarily unital), G a group and alpha a partial action by ideals that contain local units. We show that R0 is maximal commutative in the partial skew group ring R0*G if and only if R0 has the…

Two unanswered questions in the heart of the theory of Leavitt path algebras are whether Grothendieck group $K_0$ is a complete invariant for the class of unital purely infinite simple algebras and, a weaker question, whether $L_2$ (the…

Let $K$ be a field and $E$ be a graph. Let $L_K(E)$ be the Leavitt path algebra of $E$ over $K$ with the standard involution $^\star$. We investigate the set of skew-symmetric elements, $\mathbf{K}_{L_K(E)}=\{x\in L_K(E) : x^{\star}=-x\}$,…

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…

We show that $E$ is a finite graph with no sinks if and only if the Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ is isomorphic to an algebraic Cuntz-Krieger algebra if and only if the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ is unital and…

In addition to extending some facts from field coefficients to commutative ring coefficients for Leavitt path algebras with new shorter proofs, we also prove some results that are new even for field coefficients. In particular, we show that…

We show that the Leavitt path algebras $L_{2,\mathbb{Z}}$ and $L_{2-,\mathbb{Z}}$ are not isomorphic as $*$-algebras. There are two key ingredients in the proof. One is a partial algebraic translation of Matsumoto and Matui's result on…

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,…

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…

We define the relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. We prove versions of the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem for relative Cuntz-Krieger algebras.

Suppose that $R$ is an associative unital ring and that $E=(E^0,E^1,r,s)$ is a directed graph. Utilizing results from graded ring theory we show, that the associated Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ is simple if and only if $R$ is simple,…

We prove Leavitt path algebra versions of the two uniqueness theorems of graph C*-algebras. We use these uniqueness theorems to analyze the ideal structure of Leavitt path algebras and give necessary and sufficient conditions for their…

For any positive integer $n$ we describe the Leavitt path algebra of the Cayley graph $C_n$ corresponding to the cyclic group $\Z/n\Z$. Using a Kirchberg-Phillips-type realization result, we show that there are exactly four isomorphism…
