چکیده
Let K be any field, let L n denote the Leavitt algebra of type (1, n − 1) having coefficients in K, and let M d (L n) denote the ring of d × d matrices over L n. In our main result, we show that M d (L n) ∼ = L n if and only if d and n − 1 are coprime. We use this isomorphism to answer a question posed in [14] regarding isomorphisms between various C*-algebras. Furthermore, our result demonstrates that data about the K 0 structure is sufficient to distinguish up to isomorphism the algebras in an important class of purely infinite simple K-algebras.

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...
متن کاملAn Isomorphism Extension Theorem For Landau-Ginzburg B-Models
Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry studies isomorphisms between Aand B-models, which are graded Frobenius algebras that are constructed using a weighted homogeneous polynomial W and a related symmetry group G. Given two polynomials W1, W2 with the same weights and same group G, the corresponding A-models built with (W1,G) and (W2,G) are isomorphic. Though the same result cannot hold in full genera...
متن کاملRings of Low Rank with a Standard Involution
We consider the problem of classifying (possibly noncommutative) R-algebras of low rank over an arbitrary base ring R. We first classify algebras by their degree, and we relate the class of algebras of degree 2 to algebras with a standard involution. We then investigate a class of exceptional rings of degree 2 which occur in every rank n ≥ 1 and show that they essentially characterize all algeb...
متن کاملAutomorphisms and Twisted Forms of Generalized Witt Lie Algebras
We prove that the automorphisms of the generalized Witt Lie algebras W(m , n) over arbitrary commutative rings of characteristic p > 3 all come from automorphisms of the algebras on which they are defined as derivations. By descent theory, this result then implies that if a Lie algebra over a field becomes isomorphic to W{m, n) over the algebraic closure, it is a derivation algebra of the type ...
