From the mid-1970s, Eberhard Kirchberg undertook a remarkable extensive study of $C^*$-algebras exactness whose applications spread out to many branches of analysis. In this review we focus on the case of groupoid $C^*$-algebras for which…
A locally compact groupoid is said to have the weak containment property if its full $C^*$-algebra coincides with its reduced one. This property is strictly weaker than amenability and is known to be equivalent to amenability for…
We give a definition of amenability at infinity for a locally compact, $\sigma$-compact and Hausdorff etale groupoid and we study in some case the exactness of the reduced $C^*$-algebra of a such groupoid.
In this work we introduce and study a new notion of amenability for actions of locally compact groups on $C^*$-algebras. Our definition extends the definition of amenability for actions of discrete groups due to Claire…
We show that an \'etale groupoid which is strongly amenable at infinity is amenable whenever its full and reduced $C^*$-algebras coincide.
It is known that exactness for a discrete group is equivalent to C*-exactness, i.e., the exactness of its reduced C*-algebra. The problem of whether this equivalence holds for general locally compact groups has recently been reduced by Cave…
In this work, we study groupoids and their approximation properties, generalizing both the definitions and some known results for the group case. More precisely, we introduce weak amenability for groupoids using the definition of the…
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff ample groupoid on a compact space. In this paper, we further examine the (ubiquitous) fiberwise amenability introduced by the author and Jianchao Wu for $\mathcal{G}$. We…
We investigate recent uniqueness theorems for reduced $C^*$-algebras of Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoids in the context of inverse semigroups. In many cases the distinguished subalgebra is closely related to the structure of the inverse…
A locally compact groupoid is said to be exact if its associated reduced crossed product functor is exact. In this paper, we establish some permanence properties of exactness, including generalizations of some known results for exact…
In this paper, we introduce two new approximation properties for \'etale groupoids, almost elementariness and (ubiquitous) fiberwise amenability, inspired by Matui's and Kerr's notions of almost finiteness. In fact, we show that, in their…
A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…
It is proved that a discrete group G is exact if and only if its left translation action on the Stone-Cech compactification is amenable. Combining this with an unpublished result of Gromov, we have the existence of non exact discrete…
We introduce inner amenability for discrete p.m.p. groupoids and investigate its basic properties, examples, and the connection with central sequences in the full group of the groupoid or central sequences in the von Neumann algebra…
In this paper, we study the ideal structure of reduced $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(G)$ associated to \'etale groupoids $G$. In particular, we characterize when there is a one-to-one correspondence between the closed, two-sided ideals in…
We introduce an appropriate notion of inner amenability for locally compact quantum groups, study its basic properties, related notions, and examples arising from the bicrossed product construction. We relate these notions to homological…
We prove that amenability of a discrete group is equivalent to dimension flatness of certain ring inclusions naturally associated with measure preserving actions of the group. This provides a group-measure space theoretic solution to a…
Inner amenability is a bridge between amenability of an object and amenability of its operator algebras. It is an open problem of Ananantharman-Delaroche to decide whether all \'etale groupoids are inner amenable. Approximate lattices and…
We conduct a systematic study of traces on locally compact groups, in particular traces on their universal and reduced C*-algebras. We introduce the trace kernel, and examine its relation to the von Neumann kernel and to small-invariant…
We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…
