Simple Lie algebras arising from Leavitt path algebras

arXiv:1107.3114 · doi:10.1016/j.jpaa.2012.03.003

Abstract

For a field K and directed graph E, we analyze those elements of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) which lie in the commutator subspace [L_K(E), L_K(E)]. This analysis allows us to give easily computable necessary and sufficient conditions to determine which Lie algebras of the form [L_K(E), L_K(E)] are simple, when E is row-finite (i.e., has finite out-degree) and L_K(E) is simple.
