Abstract: Leavitt path algebras, which are algebras associated to directed graphs, were first introduced about 20 years ago. They have strong connections to such topics as symbolic dynamics, operator algebras, non-commutative geometry, representation theory, and even chip firing. In this talk we sneak a peek at these fascinating algebras and their interplay with several seemingly disparate parts of mathematics.
