On prime non-primitive von Neumann regular algebras

Rings and Algebras 2011-03-22 v1

Abstract

Let EE be any directed graph, and KK any field. We classify those graphs EE for which the Leavitt path algebra LK(E)L_K(E) is primitive. As a consequence, we obtain classes of examples of von Neumann regular prime rings which are not primitive.
