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...

To a higher rank directed graph (Λ, d), in the sense of Kumjian and Pask, 2000, one can associate natural noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebras, both weakly closed and norm closed. We introduce methods for the classification of these algebras in the case of single vertex graphs.

We prove a limit theorem connected to graphs, which when the graph is a cycle reduces to Szego's theorem for the trace of a product of Toeplitz matrices. The main tool used is a Holder type inequality for multiple integrals of functions which are applied to variables satisfying linear dependency relations.

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...

We define a semidirect product groupoid of a system of partially defined local homeomorphisms T = (T1, . . . , Tr). We prove that this construction gives rise to amenable groupoids. The associated algebra is a Cuntz-like algebra. We use this construction for higher rank graph algebras in order to give a topological interpretation for the duality in E-theory between C∗(Λ) and C∗(Λop). Introducti...

We develop notions of a representation of a topological graph E and of a covariant representation of a topological graph E which do not require the machinery of C∗-correspondences and Cuntz– Pimsner algebras. We show that the C∗-algebra generated by a universal representation of E is isomorphic to the Toeplitz algebra of Katsura’s topological-graph bimodule, and that the C∗-algebra generated by...

Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C-algebra associated to the directed graph. In this paper we give intrinsic constructions of these objects. We provide an explicit construction for the maximal C-algebra of an operator algebra. We also discuss uniqueness of the universal algebras for finite graphs, showing that for finite graphs the graph is an isom...
