Abstract

Inspired by Franks’ classification of irreducible shifts of finite type, we provide a short list of allowed moves on graphs that preserve the stable isomorphism class of the associated $C^*$-algebras. We show that if two graphs have stably isomorphic and simple unital algebras then we can use these moves to transform one into the other.
