Abstract

We compute the Hochschild homology of Leavitt path algebras over a field k. As an application, we show that L<subscript>2</subscript> and L<subscript>2</subscript> ⊗ L<subscript>2</subscript> have different Hochschild homologies, and so they are not Morita equivalent; in particular, they are not isomorphic. Similarly, L<subscript>∞</subscript> and L<subscript>∞</subscript> ⊗ L<subscript>∞</subscript> are distinguished by their Hochschild homologies, and so they are not Morita equivalent either. By contrast, we show that K-theory cannot distinguish these algebras; we have K<subscript>*</subscript>(L<subscript>2</subscript>) = K<subscript>*</subscript>(L<subscript>2</subscript> ⊗L<subscript>2</subscript>) = 0 and K<subscript>*</subscript>(L<subscript>∞</subscript>) = X<subscript>*</subscript>(L<subscript>∞</subscript> ⊗ L<subscript>∞</subscript>) = K<subscript>*</subscript>(k).
