Groupoid quantales: A non-étale setting

Topological Groupoid Quantales

We associate a canonical unital involutive quantale to a topological groupoid. When the groupoid is also étale, this association is compatible with but independent from the theory of localic étale groupoids and their quantales [19] of P. Resende. As a motivating example, we describe the connection between the quantale and the C∗-algebra that both classify Penrose tilings, which was left as an o...

Relational Representation of Groupoid Quantales

In Palmigiano and Re (J Pure Appl Algebra 215(8):1945–1957, 2011), spatial SGF-quantales are axiomatically introduced and proved to be representable as sub unital involutive quantales of quantales arising from set groupoids. In the present paper, spatial SGF-quantales of this class are shown to be optimally representable as unital involutive quantales of relations. The results of the present pa...

Étale groupoids and their quantales

We establish a close and previously unknown relation between quantales and groupoids, in terms of which the notion of étale groupoid is subsumed in a natural way by that of quantale. In particular, to each étale groupoid, either localic or topological, there is associated a unital involutive quantale. We obtain a bijective correspondence between localic étale groupoids and their quantales, whic...
