Nonstable K-theory for Graph Algebras

چکیده
We compute the monoid V (LK(E)) of isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective modules over certain graph algebras LK(E), and we show that this monoid satisfies the refinement property and separative cancellation. We also show that there is a natural isomorphism between the lattice of graded ideals of LK(E) and the lattice of order-ideals of V (LK(E)). When K is the field C of complex numbers, the algebra LC(E) is a dense subalgebra of the graph C∗-algebra C∗(E), and we show that the inclusion map induces an isomorphism between the corresponding monoids. As a consequence, the graph C*-algebra of any row-finite graph turns out to satisfy the stable weak cancellation property.

Finitely generated antisymmetric graph monoids
A graph monoid is a commutative monoid for which there is a particularly simple presentation, given in terms of a quiver. Such monoids are known to satisfy various nonstable K-theoretical representability properties for either von Neumann regular rings or C*-algebras. We give a characterization of graph monoids within finitely generated antisymmetric refinement monoids. This characterization is...
متن کاملNonstable K-theory for Z-stable C-algebras
Let Z denote the simple limit of prime dimension drop algebras that has a unique tracial state (cf. Jiang and Su [11]). Let A 6= 0 be a unital C∗-algebra with A ∼= A ⊗ Z. Then the homotopy groups of the group U(A) of unitaries in A are stable invariants, namely, πi(U(A)) ∼= Ki−1(A) for all integer i ≥ 0. Furthermore, A has cancellation for full projections, and satisfies the comparability quest...
متن کاملLifting Defects for Nonstable K0-theory of Exchange Rings and C*-algebras
The assignment (nonstable K0-theory), that to a ring R associates the monoid V(R) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of idempotent infinite matrices with only finitely nonzero entries over R, extends naturally to a functor. We prove the following lifting properties of that functor: (i) There is no functor Γ, from simplicial monoids with order-unit with normalized positive homomorphisms t...
متن کاملC-ALGEBRAS ASSOCIATED TO COVERINGS OF k-GRAPHS
A covering of k-graphs (in the sense of Pask-Quigg-Raeburn) induces an embedding of universal C∗-algebras. We show how to build a (k + 1)-graph whose universal algebra encodes this embedding. More generally we show how to realise a direct limit of k-graph algebras under embeddings induced from coverings as the universal algebra of a (k + 1)-graph. Our main focus is on computing the K-theory of ...
متن کاملNILPOTENT GRAPHS OF MATRIX ALGEBRAS
Let $R$ be a ring with unity. The undirected nilpotent graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma_N(R)$, is a graph with vertex set ~$Z_N(R)^* = {0neq x in R | xy in N(R) for some y in R^*}$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy in N(R)$, or equivalently, $yx in N(R)$, where $N(R)$ denoted the nilpotent elements of $R$. Recently, it has been proved that if $R$ is a left A...
