Two-Sided Chain Conditions in Leavitt Path Algebras Over Arbitrary Graphs

Let E be any directed graph, and K be any field. For any ideal I of the Leavitt path algebra L K (E) we provide an explicit description of a set of generators for I. This description allows us to classify the two-sided noetherian Leavitt path algebras over arbitrary graphs. This extends similar results previously known only in the row-finite case. We provide a number of additional consequences of this description, including an identification of those Leavitt path algebras for which all two-sided ideals are graded. Finally, we classify the two-sided artinian Leavitt path algebras over arbitrary graphs.
