Abstract

For a finite quiver Q without sinks, we consider the corresponding finite dimensional algebra A with radical square zero. We construct an explicit compact generator for the homotopy category of acyclic complexes of injective A-modules. We call such a generator the injective Leavitt complex of Q. This terminology is justified by the following result: the differential graded endomorphism algebra of the injective Leavitt complex of Q is quasi-isomorphic to the Leavitt path algebra of Q. Here, the Leavitt path algebra is naturally \(\mathbb {Z}\)-graded and viewed as a differential graded algebra with trivial differential.
