Proper Actions of Groupoids on C-algebras

چکیده
This thesis contains some results concerning groupoid dynamical systems and crossed products. We introduce the notion of a proper groupoid dynamical system and of its generalized fixed point algebra. We show that our notion of proper groupoid dynamical system extends both the notion of proper actions of groups on topological spaces and the notion of the proper group dynamical systems introduced by Rieffel in 1990. The main result states that the generalized fixed point algebra for a proper groupoid dynamical system is Morita equivalent to a subalgebra of the reduced crossed product. In order to do this, we develop the theory of induced representations of groupoid crossed products. As a separate result, we define a notion of a Brauer Semigroup for a groupoid, and show that if G and H are two equivalent groupoids then their Brauer Semigroups are isomorphic. The Brauer Semigroup of G is an interesting object to study since it encodes information about the Morita equivalence classes of groupoid crossed products by G. It is our hope that our result on isomorphism classes of Brauer Semigroups can lead to some interesting results about proper groupoid dynamical systems.

C*-algebras on r-discrete Abelian Groupoids
We study certain function algebras and their operator algebra completions on r-discrete abelian groupoids, the corresponding conditional expectations, maximal abelian subalgebras (masa) and eigen-functionals. We give a semidirect product decomposition for an abelian groupoid. This is done through a matched pair and leads to a C*-diagonal (for a special case). We use this decomposition to study ...
متن کاملJ ul 2 00 9 NON - HAUSDORFF SYMMETRIES OF C ∗ - ALGEBRAS
Symmetry groups or groupoids of C∗-algebras associated to nonHausdorff spaces are often non-Hausdorff as well. We describe such symmetries using crossed modules of groupoids. We define actions of crossed modules on C∗-algebras and crossed products for such actions, and justify these definitions with some basic general results and examples.
متن کاملIntegrable and Proper Actions on C-algebras, and Square-integrable Representations of Groups
We propose a definition of what should be meant by a proper action of a locally compact group on a C∗-algebra. We show that when the C∗-algebra is commutative this definition exactly captures the usual notion of a proper action on a locally compact space. We then propose a definition for the generalized fixed-point algebra, and show that it gives the desired algebra when the C∗-algebra is commu...
متن کاملActions and Coactions of Finite Quantum Groupoids on Von Neumann Algebras, Extensions of the Match Pair Procedure
In this work we investigate the notion of action or coaction of a finite quantum groupoid in von Neumann algebras context. In particular we prove a double crossed product theorem and prove the existence of an universal von Neumann algebra on which any finite groupoids acts outerly. In previous works, N. Andruskiewitsch and S.Natale define for any match pair of groupoids two C∗-quantum groupoids...
متن کاملActions of vector groupoids
In this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature. After we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space, we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids. We also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids. As the second part of the work, we define the notion...
