The Leavitt path algebras of generalized Cayley graphs. (Q5964369)

One aim of the theory of Leavitt path algebras is to find appropriate graphs whose Leavitt path algebras can be described. This paper works with generalized Cayley graphs \(C^j_n\) of cyclic groups \(\mathbb Z_n\), \(n\) is a positive integer. Namely, for each \(0\leq j\leq n-1\) the generalized Cayley graph \(C^j_n\) is the directed graph consisting of \(n\) vertices \(\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}\) and \(2n\) edges \(\{e_1,\ldots,e_n,f_1,\ldots,f_n\}\) for which \(e_i\) starts at \(v_i\) ending at \(v_{i+1}\) and \(f_i\) starts at \(v_i\) ending at \(v_{i+j}\), where subscripts are interpreted mod \(n\). The authors compute the size of the Grothendieck group of the Leavitt path algebra \(L_K(C^j_n)\) for each pair \((n,j)\) and arbitrary coefficient field \(K\). Additional information about these Grothendieck groups is obtained in the case of small \(j\), namely when \(j\in\{0,1,2\}\), allowing the authors to realize explicitly the corresponding Leavitt path algebras.
