Leavitt Path Algebras and Classical K-Theory (Indian Statistical Institute Series)

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.
