Abstract

We prove that if RR is a ring that is object unital and strongly graded by a groupoid Γ\Gamma, and if Δ\Delta is a wide subgroupoid of Γ\Gamma, then R/RΔR/R_\Delta is separable if and only if, for each eΓ0e \in \Gamma_0, there exist f[e]f \in [e] and rCR0(RΛ):={xR0xy=yx for all yRΛ}r \in C_{R_0}(R_\Lambda) := \{ x \in R_0 \mid xy = yx \text{ for all } y \in R_\Lambda \} with trΓ/Δf(r)=1Rf{\rm tr}_{\Gamma/\Delta}^f(r) = 1_{R_f}. Here, Γ0\Gamma_0 denotes the set of objects of Γ\Gamma, [e][e] the connected component of Γ0\Gamma_0 containing ee, Λ\Lambda the isotropy groupoid of Δ\Delta, and trΓ/Δf{\rm tr}_{\Gamma/\Delta}^f the relative trace map at ff. This result simultaneously generalizes earlier theorems on separability for matrix rings and group-graded rings due to DeMeyer-Ingraham, N{\v a}st{\v a}sescu, Van den Bergh, Van Oystaeyen, Miyashita, Theohari-Apostolidi, and Vavatsoulas, as well as results on groupoid-graded rings due to Cala, Lundstr\"{o}m, and Pinedo. As an application, we consider separability for object crossed products, including object twisted groupoid rings, classical groupoid rings and matrix rings, as well as crossed product algebras defined by infinite separable field extensions.
