Partly Free Algebras from Directed Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
We say that a nonselfadjoint operator algebra is partly free if it contains a free semigroup algebra. Motivation for such algebras occurs in the setting of what we call free semigroupoid algebras. These are the weak operator topology closed algebras generated by the left regular representations of semigroupoids associated with finite or countable directed graphs. We expand our analysis of partly free algebras from previous work and obtain a graph-theoretic characterization of when a free semigroupoid algebra with countable graph is partly free. This analysis carries over to norm closed quiver algebras. We also discuss new examples for the countable graph case.

Free Semigroupoid Algebras
Every countable directed graph generates a Fock space Hilbert space and a family of partial isometries. These operators also arise from the left regular representations of free semigroupoids derived from directed graphs. We develop a structure theory for the weak operator topology closed algebras generated by these representations, which we call free semigroupoid algebras. We characterize semis...
متن کاملThe H Algebras of Higher Rank Graphs
We begin the study of a new class of operator algebras that arise from higher rank graphs. Every higher rank graph generates a Fock space Hilbert space and creation operators which are partial isometries acting on the space. We call the weak operator topology closed algebra generated by these operators a higher rank semigroupoid algebra. A number of examples are discussed in detail, including t...
متن کاملIsomorphisms of Algebras Associated with Directed Graphs
Given countable directed graphs G and G, we show that the associated tensor algebras T+(G) and T+(G ) are isomorphic as Banach algebras if and only if the graphs G are G are isomorphic. For tensor algebras associated with graphs having no sinks or no sources, the graph forms an invariant for algebraic isomorphisms. We also show that given countable directed graphs G, G, the free semigroupoid al...
متن کاملIdeal Structure in Free Semigroupoid Algebras from Directed Graphs
A free semigroupoid algebra is the weak operator topology closed algebra generated by the left regular representation of a directed graph. We establish lattice isomorphisms between ideals and invariant subspaces, and this leads to a complete description of the wot-closed ideal structure for these algebras. We prove a distance formula to ideals, and this gives an appropriate version of the Carat...
متن کاملUniversal Operator Algebras of Directed Graphs
Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C∗-algebra associated to the directed graph. For finite graphs this algebra decomposes as the universal free product of some building block operator algebras. For countable directed graphs, the universal operator algebras arise as direct limits of operator algebras of finite subgraphs. Finally, a method for computin...
