In this paper we propose a graph superalgebra which is the supersymmetric analogue of Leavitt path algebras. We find a basis for these superalgebras and characterize when they have polynomial growth.
Prüfer domains and subclasses of integral domains such as Dedekind domains admit characterizations by means of the properties of their ideal lattices. Interestingly, a Leavitt path algebra $L$, in spite of being non-commutative and possessing plenty of zero divisors, seems to have its ideal lattices possess the characterizing properties of these special domains. In [8] it was shown that the ideals of $L$ satisfy the distributive law, a property of Prüfer domains and that $L$ is a multiplication ring, a property of Dedekind domains. In this paper, we first show that $L$ satisfies two more characterizing properties of Prüfer domains which are the ideal versions of two theorems in Elementary Number Theory, namely, for positive integers $a,b,c$, $\gcd(a,b)\cdot\operatorname{lcm}(a,b)=a\cdot b$ and $a\cdot \operatorname{gcd}(b,c)=\operatorname{gcd}(ab,ac)$. We also show that $L$ satisfies a characterizing property of almost Dedekind domains in terms of the ideals whose radicals are prime ideals. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which $L$ satisfies another important characterizing property of almost Dedekind domains, namely the cancellative property of its non-zero ideals.
