Socle Theory for Leavitt Path Algebras of Arbitrary Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
The main aim of the paper is to give a socle theory for Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary graphs. We use both the desingularization process and combinatorial methods to study Morita invariant properties concerning the socle and to characterize it, respectively. Leavitt path algebras with nonzero socle are described as those which have line points, and it is shown that the line points generate the socle of a Leavitt path algebra, extending so the results for row-finite graphs in the previous paper [12] (but with different methods). A concrete description of the socle of a Leavitt path algebra is obtained: it is a direct sum of matrix rings (of finite or infinite size) over the base field. New proofs of the Graded Uniqueness and of the Cuntz-Krieger Uniqueness Theorems are given, shorthening significantly the original ones.

Algebras of Quotients of Leavitt Path Algebras
We start this paper by showing that the Leavitt path algebra of a (row-finite) graph is an algebra of quotients of the corresponding path algebra. The path algebra is semiprime if and only if whenever there is a path connecting two vertices, there is another one in the opposite direction. Semiprimeness is studied because, for acyclic graphs, the Leavitt path algebra is a Fountain-Gould algebra ...
متن کاملThe Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary graphs
We extend the notion of the Leavitt path algebra of a graph E to include all directed graphs. We show how various ring-theoretic properties of these more general structures relate to the corresponding properties of Leavitt path algebras of row-finite graphs. Specifically, we identify those graphs for which the corresponding Leavitt path algebra is simple; purely infinite simple; exchange; and s...
متن کاملAlgebras of Quotients of Path Algebras
Leavitt path algebras are shown to be algebras of right quotients of their corresponding path algebras. Using this fact we obtain maximal algebras of right quotients from those (Leavitt) path algebras whose associated graph satisfies that every vertex connects to a line point (equivalently, the Leavitt path algebra has essential socle). We also introduce and characterize the algebraic counterpa...
متن کاملFlow Invariants in the Classification of Leavitt Path Algebras
We analyze in the context of Leavitt path algebras some graph operations introduced in the context of symbolic dynamics by Williams, Parry and Sullivan, and Franks. We show that these operations induce Morita equivalence of the corresponding Leavitt path algebras. As a consequence we obtain our two main results: the first gives sufficient conditions for which the Leavitt path algebras in a cert...
متن کاملLeavitt Path Algebras and Direct Limits
An introduction to Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary directed graphs is presented, and direct limit techniques are developed, with which many results that had previously been proved for countable graphs can be extended to uncountable ones. Such results include characterizations of simplicity, characterizations of the exchange property, and cancellation conditions for the K-theoretic monoid of ...
