Leavitt Path Algebras and Classical K-Theory

The book offers a comprehensive introduction to Leavitt path algebras (LPAs) and graph C-algebras. Highlighting their significant connection with classical K-theory-which plays an important role in mathematics and its related emerging fields-this book allows readers from diverse mathematical backgrounds to understand and appreciate these structures. The articles on LPAs are mostly of an expository nature and the ones dealing with K-theory provide new proofs and are accessible to interested students and beginners of the field. It is a useful resource for graduate students and researchers working in this field and related areas, such as C-algebras and symbolic dynamics.
