Abstract

We study the representation theory of the algebraic Toeplitz algebra R=K⟨x,y⟩/⟨xy−1⟩, give a few new structure and homological theorems, completely determine one-sided ideals and survey and re-obtain results from the existing literature as well. We discuss its connection to Kaplansky's direct finiteness conjecture, and a possible approach to it based on the module theory of R. In addition, we discuss the conjecture's connections to several central problems in mathematics, including Connes' embedding conjecture.
