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…

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…

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…

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…

For a field $F$ and a row-finite directed graph $\Gamma$ let $L(\Gamma)$ be the Leavitt path algebra. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Lie algebra $[L(\Gamma),L(\Gamma)]$ to be simple.

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…

Given a directed graph $E$ and an associative unital ring $R$ one may define the Leavitt path algebra with coefficients in $R$, denoted by $L_R(E)$. For an arbitrary group $G$, $L_R(E)$ can be viewed as a $G$-graded ring. In this article,…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

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 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…

Leavitt path algebras associate to directed graphs a $\mathbb Z$-graded algebra and in their simplest form recover the Leavitt algebras $L(1,k)$. In this note, we first study this $\mathbb Z$-grading and characterize the ($\mathbb…

Leavitt path algebras associate to directed graphs a $\mathbb Z$-graded algebra and in their simplest form recover the Leavitt algebras L(1,n). In this note, we introduce iterated Leavitt path algebras associated to directed weighted graphs…

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…

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…

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…

Let $E$ be a directed graph, $\mathbb K$ be a field, and $\mathbb F$ be the free group on the edges of $E$. In this work, we use the isomorphism between Leavitt path algebras and partial skew group rings to endow $L_{\mathbb K}(E)$ with an…
