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…
This introduction to graphs and graph algebras provides the optimal bound for the number of all paths of length $k$ in a graph with $N\geq k$ edges and no loops. Our proof relies on a construction of a number of terminating algorithms that…
We give sufficient conditions on a labeled direct graph to determine whether the Tanaka prolongation of its associated Lie algebra is infinite-dimensional. In the case that all directed edges are labeled differently, the corresponding graph…
A characterization is given for directed graphs that yield graph $C^*$-algebras with continuous trace. This is established for row-finite graphs with no sources first using a groupoid approach, and extended to the general case via the…
Given an arbitrary countable ordinal $\alpha $, we introduce the notion of type $I_{\alpha }$ C*-algebra and $\alpha $-subhomogeneous C*-algebra. When $\alpha =0$, these recover the notions of Fell C*-algebra and of commutative C*-algebra,…
We investigate the pure infiniteness and stable finiteness of the Exel-Pardo $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal{O}_{G,E}$ for countable self-similar graphs $(G,E,\varphi)$. In particular, we associate a specific ordinary graph $\widetilde{E}$ to…
We construct a unital pre-C*-algebra $A_0$ which is stably finite, in the sense that every left invertible square matrix over $A_0$ is right invertible, while the C*-completion of $A_0$ contains a non-unitary isometry, and so it is…
We introduce new formulations of aperiodicity and cofinality for finitely aligned higher-rank graphs \Lambda, and prove that C*(\Lambda) is simple if and only if \Lambda is aperiodic and cofinal. The main advantage of our versions of…
It is known that a graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ is approximately finite dimensional (AF) if and only if the graph $E$ has no loops. In this paper we consider the question of when a labeled graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,\CL,\CB)$ is AF. A…
Infinite graphs are finitary in the sense that their points are connected via finite paths. So what would an infinitary generalization of finite graphs look like? Usually this question is answered with the aid of topology, e.g. in the case…
We consider the problem of identifying exactly which AF-algebras are isomorphic to a graph C*-algebra. We prove that any separable, unital, Type I C*-algebra with finitely many ideals is isomorphic to a graph C*-algebra. This result allows…
Let A be a unital separable C*-algebra. We observe that A is type I if and only if the CNT-entropy of every inner automorphism of A is zero.
We geometrically describe the relation induced on a set of graphs by isomorphism of their associated graph C*-algebras as the smallest equivalence relation generated by five types of moves. The graphs studied have finitely many vertices and…
Given a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ and an element $p$ of $\NN^k$, we define the dual $k$-graph, $p\Lambda$. We show that when $\Lambda$ is row-finite and has no sources, the $C^*$-algebras $C^*(\Lambda)$ and $C^*(p\Lambda)$ coincide. We use this…
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…
A graph is IC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share no common end vertex. IC-planarity specializes both NIC-planarity, which allows a pair of crossing…
A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…
It is shown that no local periodicity is equivalent to the aperiodicity condition for arbitrary finitely-aligned k-graphs. This allows us to conclude that C*(\Lambda) is simple if and only if \Lambda is cofinal and has no local periodicity.
We show that the graph construction used to prove that a gauge-invariant ideal of a graph C*-algebra is isomorphic to a graph C*-algebra, and also used to prove that a graded ideal of a Leavitt path algebra is isomorphic to a Leavitt path…
Let E be a row-finite directed graph. We prove that there exists a C*-algebra C*_{min}(E) with the following co-universal property: given any C*-algebra B generated by a Toeplitz-Cuntz-Krieger E-family in which all the vertex projections…
