Graded K-Theory, Filtered K-theory and the classification of graph algebras

Abstract: We prove that an isomorphism of graded Grothendieck groups

K_{0}^{g r}

of two Leavitt path algebras induces an isomorphism of a certain quotient of algebraic filtered

K

-theory and consequently an isomorphism of filtered

K

-theory of their associated graph

C^{*}

-algebras. As an application, we show that, since for a finite graph

E

with no sinks,

of the Leavitt path algebra

L (E)

coincides with Krieger's dimension group of its adjacency matrix

A_{E}

, our result relates the shift equivalence of graphs to the filtered

K

-theory and consequently gives that two arbitrary shift equivalent matrices give stably isomorphic graph

C^{*}

-algebras. This result was only known for irreducible graphs.
