Abstract Twisted étale groupoid algebras have recently been studied in the algebraic setting by several authors connection with an abstract theory of Cartan pairs rings. In this paper we show that extensions ample groupoids correspond a precise manner to Boolean inverse semigroups. particular, discrete twists over certain abelian semigroups, and they are classified Lausch’s second cohomology gr...

in the present paper, among other results, a decomposition formula is given for the w-bounded continuous negative definite functions of a topological *-semigroup s with a weight function w into a proper h*-algebra a in terms of w-bounded continuous positive definite a-valued functions on s. a generalization of a well-known result of k. harzallah is obtained. an earlier conjecture of the author ...
