Exactness and Fell bundles with the approximation property over inverse semigroups

Operator Algebras 2026-05-21 v2

Abstract

We prove that the reduced cross-sectional algebra of a Fell bundle with the approximation property over an inverse semigroup is exact if and only if the unit fiber of the Fell bundle is exact. This generalizes a recent result of the first-named author for actions of second countable locally compact Hausdorff groupoids on separable CC^*-algebras. Along the way, we reprove some results of Kwa\'sniewski--Meyer on Fell bundle ideals.
