Associative spectra of graph algebras I

Hyperidentities in Associative Graph Algebras

Graph algebras establish a connection between directed graphs without multiple edges and special universal algebras of type (2,0). We say that a graph G satisfies an identity s ≈ t if the corresponding graph algebra A(G) satisfies s ≈ t. A graph G is called associative if the corresponding graph algebra A(G) satisfies the equation (xy)z ≈ x(yz). An identity s ≈ t of terms s and t of any type τ ...

On deformation of associative algebras and graph homology

Deformation theory of associative algebras and in particular of Poisson algebras is reviewed. The role of an “almost contraction” leading to a canonical solution of the corresponding Maurer-Cartan equation is noted. This role is reminiscent of the homotopical perturbation lemma, with the infinitesimal deformation cocycle as “initiator”. Applied to star-products, we show how Moyal’s formula can ...

Identities of Associative Algebras

The structure theory for Pi-algebras is well developed. Some results of this theory are classic now. One of them is Kaplansky's theorem which asserts that a primitive Pi-algebra is finite dimensional over its centre. Another example is the theorem of Nagata-Higman which asserts that any algebra over a field of zero characteristic satisfying identity x" = 0 is nilpotent. In 1957 A.I. Shirshov pr...

A Class of C∗-algebras Generalizing Both Graph Algebras and Homeomorphism C∗-algebras I, Fundamental Results

We introduce a new class of C∗-algebras, which is a generalization of both graph algebras and homeomorphism C∗-algebras. This class is very large and also very tractable. We prove the so-called gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem, and compute the K-groups of our algebras.
