Diagonal-preserving isomorphisms of \'etale groupoid algebras

Abstract

Work of Jean Renault shows that, for topologically principal \'etale groupoids, a diagonal-preserving isomorphism of reduced CC^*-algebras yields an isomorphism of groupoids. Several authors have proved analogues of this result for ample groupoid algebras over integral domains under suitable hypotheses. In this paper, we extend the known results by allowing more general coefficient rings and by weakening the hypotheses on the groupoids. Our approach has the additional feature that we only need to impose conditions on one of the two groupoids. Applications are given to Leavitt path algebras.
