Abstract

This paper presents a fanctor SS from the category of groupoids to the category of semigroups. Indeed, a monoid SGS_G with a right zero element is related to a topological groupoid GG. The monoid SGS_G is a subset of C(G,G)C(G,G), the set of all continuous functions from GG to GG, and with the compact- open topology inherited from C(G,G) is a left topological monoid. The group of units of SGS_G, which is denoted by H(1)H(1), is isomorphic to a subgroup of the group of all bijection map from GG to GG under composition of functions. Moreover, it is proved that H(1)H(1) is embedded in the group of all invertible linear operators on C(G)C(G), the set of all complex continuous function on GG.
