Products and intersections of prime-power ideals in Leavitt path algebras

Abstract

We continue a very fruitful line of inquiry into the multiplicative ideal theory of an arbitrary Leavitt path algebra [Formula: see text]. Specifically, we show that factorizations of an ideal in [Formula: see text] into irredundant products or intersections of finitely many prime-power ideals are unique, provided that the ideals involved are powers of distinct prime ideals. We also characterize the completely irreducible ideals in [Formula: see text], which turn out to be prime-power ideals of a special type, as well as ideals that can be factored into products or intersections of finitely many completely irreducible ideals.
