Abstract

This paper is a contribution to the theory of what might be termed 00-dimensional non-commutative spaces. We prove that associated with each inverse semigroup SS is a Boolean inverse semigroup presented by the abstract versions of the Cuntz-Krieger relations. We call this Boolean inverse semigroup the Exel completion of SS and show that it arises from Exel's tight groupoid under non-commutative Stone duality.

This revised version of the paper contains a genearalization suggested by Enrique Pardo (using a result of Lisa Orloff Clark) and answers some questions posed by Ruy Exel
