Abstract

Renault proved in 2008 that if GG is a topologically principal groupoid, then C0(G(0))C_0(G^{(0)}) is a Cartan subalgebra in Cr(G,Σ)C^*_r(G, \Sigma) for any twist Σ\Sigma over GG. However, there are many groupoids which are not topologically principal, yet their (twisted) CC^*-algebras admit Cartan subalgebras. This paper gives a dynamical description of a class of such Cartan subalgebras, by identifying conditions on a 2-cocycle cc on GG and a subgroupoid SGS \subseteq G under which Cr(S,c)C^*_r(S, c) is Cartan in Cr(G,c)C^*_r(G, c). When GG is a discrete group, we also describe the Weyl groupoid and twist associated to these Cartan pairs, under mild additional hypotheses.
