Abstract

Let EE be a directed graph, KK any field, and let LK(E)L_K(E) denote the Leavitt path algebra of EE with coefficients in KK. For each rational infinite path cc^\infty of EE we explicitly construct a projective resolution of the corresponding Chen simple left LK(E)L_K(E)-module V[c]V_{[c^\infty]}. Further, when EE is row-finite, for each irrational infinite path pp of EE we explicitly construct a projective resolution of the corresponding Chen simple left LK(E)L_K(E)-module V[p]V_{[p]}. For Chen simple modules S,TS,T we describe ExtLK(E)1(S,T){\rm Ext}_{L_K(E)}^1(S,T) by presenting an explicit KK-basis. For any graph EE containing at least one cycle, this description guarantees the existence of indecomposable left LK(E)L_K(E)-modules of any prescribed finite length.
