Two-sided chain conditions in Leavitt path algebras over arbitrary graphs. (Q2892983)

The work under review classifies two-sided Noetherian Leavitt path algebras over arbitrary graphs. More precisely, for an arbitrary graph \(E\) and any field \(K\), the following assertions are equivalent: (i) \(L_K(E)\) is two-sided Noetherian. (ii) \(L_K(E)\) is two-sided graded Noetherian. (iii) The ascending chain condition holds in the set of all hereditary saturated subsets of \(E\), and, for each hereditary and saturated set the set of breaking vertices of \(H\) is finite.NEWLINENEWLINE The work extends similar results known only in the row-finite case. The methodology includes the explicit description of a set of generators for any ideal in a Leavitt path algebra (which could be of independent interest). The authors provide a number of additional consequences of this description. For instance, it is proved that an arbitrary graph \(E\) satisfies condition (K) if and only if every ideal of the corresponding Leavitt path algebra is graded. Finally a description of those Leavitt path algebras satisfying the Artinian condition on two-sided ideals is also included: \(L_K(E)\) is two-sided Artinian if and only if the graph \(E\) satisfies condition (K), the descending chain condition holds for hereditary saturated subsets of \(E^0\), and for each hereditary saturated subset \(H\), the set of breaking vertices is finite.
