Abstract

Given a locally compact abelian group GG, we give an explicit formula for the Dixmier--Douady invariant of the CC^*-algebra of the groupoid extension associated to a \v{C}ech 22-cocycle in the sheaf of germs of continuous GG-valued functions. We then exploit the blow-up construction for groupoids to extend this to some more general central extensions of \'etale equivalence relations.
