Abstract

The adiabatic groupoid Gad\mathcal{G}_{ad} of a smooth groupoid G\mathcal{G} is a deformation relating G\mathcal{G} with its algebroid. In a previous work, we constructed a natural action of R\mathbb{R} on the C*-algebra of zero order pseudodifferential operators on G\mathcal{G} and identified the crossed product with a natural ideal J(G)J(\mathcal{G}) of C(Gad)C^*(\mathcal{G}_{ad}). In the present paper we show that C(Gad)C^*(\mathcal{G}_{ad}) itself is a pseudodifferential extension of this crossed product in a sense introduced by Saad Baaj. Let us point out that we prove our results in a slightly more general situation: the smooth groupoid G\mathcal{G} is assumed to act on a C*-algebra AA. We construct in this generalized setting the extension of order 00 pseudodifferential operators Ψ(A,G)\Psi(A,\mathcal{G}) of the associated crossed product AGA\rtimes \mathcal{G}. We show that R\mathbb{R} acts naturally on Ψ(A,G)\Psi(A,\mathcal{G}) and identify the crossed product of AA by the action of the adiabatic groupoid Gad\mathcal{G}_{ad} with an extension of the crossed product Ψ(A,G)R\Psi(A,\mathcal{G})\rtimes \mathbb{R}. Note that our construction of Ψ(A,G)\Psi(A,\mathcal{G}) unifies the ones of Connes (case A=CA=\mathbb{C} ) and of Baaj (G\mathcal{G} is a Lie group).
