The authors consider the Leavitt path algebra \(L_R(E)\) of an arbitrary graph \(E\) over an unital commutative ring \(R\) and introduce its commutative core as a subalgebra generated by certain normal elements (\(x\in L_R(E)\) is normal if \(xx^*=x^*x\)). They show that the commutative core is the maximal commutative subalgebra of \(L_R(E)\) and that a representation of \(L_R(E)\) is injective if and only if it is injective on the commutative core. Using this latter result, they obtain generalizations of Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness and graded uniqueness theorems.
