contents Viewing Leavitt path algebras of finite digraphs as rings of quotients defined by the ideal topology of the ideal generated by all arrows and sinks allows us to induce their representations from those of the quiver algebras and therefore provides a way to construct representations of Leavitt path algebras of not necessarily finite digraphs together with a computation of the endomorphism rings. This approach emphasizes the decisive role of infinite emitters, i.e., vertices with infinitely many outgoing arrows, in the representation theory of Leavitt path algebras. In particular, extensions of representations of ordinary quivers by taking tensor products are no longer simple extensions when infinite emitters exist, hence they become the targets of further study. Our results connect Leavitt path algebras to other vigorously active working areas in ring theory like localizations, quiver algebras, free associative algebras as well as noncommutative noetherian domains. Moreover, as Cuntz algebras ${\mathcal O}_n$ for operator graph algebras, our treatment emphasizes the central role of classical Leavitt algebras $L_K(1, n)$ in the study of Leavitt path algebras.
