Abstract

This article presents a proof of the Feldman-Moore theorem on Cartan subalgebras in W*-algebras based on the non-commutative Stone equivalence between Boolean inverse semigroups and Boolean groupoids. The proof is decomposed into two parts. The first part writes the W*-algebra as the W*-algebra of the Weyl twist of the Cartan subalgebra. The second part is an extension to separable measure inverse semigroups of the realization of a separable measure algebra by a standard measure space.
