Abstract: Let E be an arbitrary directed graph with no restrictions on the number of vertices and edges and let K be any field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) to be of countable irreducible representation type, that is, we determine when L_K(E)has at most countably many distinct isomorphism classes of simple left L_K(E-modules. It is also shown that L_K(E) has dinitely many isomorphism classes of simple left modules if and only if L_K(E) is a semi-artinian von Neumann regular ring with at most finitely many ideals. Equivalent conditions on the graph E are also given. Examples are constructed showing that for each (finite or infinite) cardinal m there exists a Leavitt path algebra L having exactly m distinct isomorphism classes of simple left modules.

Summary: Let \(E\) be an arbitrary directed graph with no restrictions on the number of vertices and edges and let \(K\) be any field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Leavitt path algebra \(L_K(E)\) to be of countable irreducible representation type, that is, we determine when \(L_K(E)\) has at most countably many distinct isomorphism classes of simple left \(L_K(E)\)-modules. It is also shown that \(L_K(E)\) has finitely many isomorphism classes of simple left modules if and only if \(L_K(E)\) is a semi-Artinian von Neumann regular ring with finitely many ideals. Equivalent conditions on the graph \(E\) are also given. Examples are constructed showing that for each (finite or infinite) cardinal \(\kappa\) there exists a Leavitt path algebra \(L_K(E)\) having exactly \(\kappa\) distinct isomorphism classes of simple right modules.
