For a field $F$ of characteristic not 2 and a directed row-finite graph $\Gamma$ let $L(\Gamma)$ be the Leavitt path algebra with the standard involution $*.$ We study the Lie algebra $K=K(L(\Gamma),*)$ of $*-$skew-symmetric elements and…

For any row-finite graph $E$ and any field $K$ we construct the {\its Leavitt path algebra} $L(E)$ having coefficients in $K$. When $K$ is the field of complex numbers, then $L(E)$ is the algebraic analog of the Cuntz Krieger algebra…

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 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…

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,…

For each $1\le p<\infty$ and each countable directed graph $E$ we consider the Leavitt path $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $L(E)$ and the $L^p$-operator graph algebra $\mathcal{O}^p(E)$. We show that the (purely infinite) simplicity of…

We introduce a class of topologies on the Leavitt path algebra $L(\Gamma)$ of a finite directed graph and decompose a graded completion $\widehat{L}(\Gamma)$ as a direct sum of minimal ideals.

In this article, we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(\mathcal{G})$ of an ultragraph $\mathcal{G}$ over a field $K$ is purely infinite simple and that it is von Neumann regular. Consequently,…

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 prove that if E and F are graphs with a finite number of vertices and an infinite number of edges, if K is a field, and if L_K(E) and L_K(F) are simple Leavitt path algebras, then L_K(E) is Morita equivalent to L_K(F) if and only if…

In this paper, we study ideal- and congruence-simpleness for the Leavitt path algebras of directed graphs with coefficients in a commutative semiring S, as well as establish some fundamental properties of those algebras. We provide a…

To a directed graph $E$ is associated a $C^*$-algebra $C^* (E)$ called a graph $C^*$-algebra. There is a canonical action $\gamma$ of ${\bf T}$ on $C^* (E)$, called the gauge action. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient…

In this paper, we give a complete characterization of Leavitt path algebras which are graded $\Sigma $-$V$ rings, that is, rings over which a direct sum of arbitrary copies of any graded simple module is graded injective. Specifically, we…

We describe the centroid of some Leavitt path algebras. More precisely, we show that for Leavitt path algebras over a field $K$ that are simple its centroid is isomorphic to $K$, and for prime Leavitt path algebras its centroid is…

Let E be an arbitrary directed graph and let K be any field. It is shown that the Leavitt path algebra A of the graph E over the field K is a Zorn ring if and only if the graph E satisfies the Condition (L), that is, every cycle in E has an…

We realize Leavitt ultragraph path algebras as partial skew group rings. Using this realization we characterize artinian ultragraph path algebras and give simplicity criteria for these algebras.

We introduce ring theoretic constructions that are similar to the construction of wreath product of groups. In particular, for a given graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$ and an associate algebra $A,$ we construct an algebra $B=A\, wr\, L(\Gamma)$ with…

In this paper, we describe the $K$-module $HH^1(L_K(\Gamma))$ of outer derivations of the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(\Gamma)$ of a row-finite graph $\Gamma$ with coefficients in an associative commutative ring $K$ with unit. We give an…

Let $R$ be a unital ring, let $E$ be a directed graph and recall that the Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ carries a natural $\mathbb{Z}$-gradation. We show that $L_R(E)$ is strongly $\mathbb{Z}$-graded if and only if $E$ is row-finite, has no…

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…
