Abstract

Given an ample, Hausdorff groupoid G\mathcal{G}, and a unital commutative ring RR, we consider the Steinberg algebra AR(G)A_R(\mathcal {G}). First we prove a uniqueness theorem for this algebra and then, when G\mathcal{G} is graded by a cocycle, we study graded ideals in AR(G)A_R(\mathcal {G}). Applications are given for two classes of ample groupoids, namely those coming from actions of groups on graphs, and also to groupoids defined in terms of Boolean dynamical systems.
