Let $E$ be a graph and $K$ a field. In this paper we prove that the multiplicative group of a unital noncommutative Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E)$ contains non-cyclic free subgroups provided $K$ is of characteristic $0$. Further, we provide…

We prove directly that if E is a directed graph in which every cycle has an entrance, then there exists a C*-algebra which is co-universal for Toeplitz-Cuntz-Krieger E-families. In particular, our proof does not invoke ideal-structure…

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 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.

Let $R$ denote the purely infinite simple unital Leavitt path algebra $L(E)$. We completely determine the pairs of positive integers $(c,d)$ for which there is an isomorphism of matrix rings $M_c(R)\cong M_d(R)$, in terms of the order of…

This paper is an attempt to show that, parallel to Elliott's classification of AF $C^*$-algebras by means of $K$-theory, the graded $K_0$-group classifies Leavitt path algebras completely. In this direction, we prove this claim at two…

The main aim of the paper is to give a socle theory for Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary graphs. We use both the desingularization process and combinatorial methods to study Morita invariant properties concerning the socle and to…

In this paper we address the classification problem for purely infinite simple Leavitt path algebras of finite graphs over a field $\ell$. Each graph $E$ has associated a Leavitt path $\ell$-algebra $L(E)$. There is an open question which…

We study the center of several types of path algebras. We start with the path algebra $KE$ and prove that if the number of vertices is infinite then the center is zero. Otherwise, it coincides with the field $K$ except when the graph $E$ is…

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…

This paper lays out the foundations of graded $K$-theory for Leavitt algebras associated with higher-rank graphs, also known as Kumjian-Pask algebras, establishing it as a potential tool for their classification. For a row-finite $k$-graph…

We investigate the question: when is a higher-rank graph C*-algebra approximately finite dimensional? We prove that the absence of an appropriate higher-rank analogue of a cycle is necessary. We show that it is not in general sufficient,…

We determine the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a weighted Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E,w)$ where $K$ is a field and $(E,w)$ a finite weighted graph. Further we show that a finite-dimensional weighted Leavitt path algebra over a field $K$ is…

We study relative Cohn path algebras, also known as Leavitt-Cohn path algebras, and we realize them as partial skew group rings (to do this we prove uniqueness theorems for relative Cohn path algebras). Furthermore, given any graph $E$ we…

We prove that the C*-algebra of a directed graph $E$ is liminal iff the graph satisfies the finiteness condition: if $p$ is an infinite path or a path ending with a sink or an infinite emitter, and if $v$ is any vertex, then there are only…

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…

In this paper we study the graded version of Naimark's problem for Leavitt path algebras considering them as $\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebras. Several characterizations are obtained of a Leavitt path algebra $L$ of an arbitrary graph $E$ over a…

We give a notion of quantum automorphism group of graph C*-algebras without sink at critical inverse temperature. This is defined to be the universal object of a category of CQG's having a linear action in the sense of [11] and preserving…

We prove that if a field k is infinite, char(k)=0 and k has not nontrivial automorphisms then automorphic equivalence of representations of Lie algebras coincide with geometric equivalence. We achieve our result by consideration of 1-sorted…

We augment Restorff's classification of purely infinite Cuntz-Krieger algebras by describing the range of his invariant on purely infinite Cuntz-Krieger algebras. We also describe its range on purely infinite graph C*-algebras with finitely…
