We study the natural representation of the topological full group of an ample Hausdorff groupoid in the groupoid's complex Steinberg algebra and in its full and reduced C*-algebras. We characterise precisely when this representation is…

We study the topological full group of ample groupoids over locally compact spaces. We extend Matui's definition of the topological full group from the compact, to the locally compact case. We provide two general classes of groupoids for…

Let $G$ be a locally compact groupoid. If $X$ is a free and proper $G$-space, then $(X*X)/G$ is a groupoid equivalent to $G$. We consider the situation where $X$ is proper but no longer free. The formalism of groupoid C*-algebras and their…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. It is not always the case that its reduced C*-algebra $C^*_r(G)$ admits a tracial state. We exhibit closely related necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such. We gain a complete answer…

The reduced C*-algebra of a countable linear group G is shown to be simple if and only if G has no nontrivial normal amenable subgroups. Moreover, these conditions are shown to be equivalent to the uniqueness of tracial state on the…

We give a new very concrete description of the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra associated to multivariable dynamical system. In the surjective case, this C*-envelope is described as a crossed product by an endomorphism, and as a groupoid…

Let E be a second-countable, locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid equipped with an action of T such that G:=E/T is a principal groupoid with Haar system \lambda. The twisted groupoid C*-algebra C*(E;G,\lambda) is a quotient of the C*-algebra…

Given a not-necessarily Hausdorff, topologically free, twisted \'etale groupoid $(G, L)$, we consider its "essential groupoid C*-algebra", denoted $C^*_{ess}(G, L)$, obtained by completing $C_c(G, L)$ with the smallest among all…

We prove that the C*-algebra of a second-countable, \'etale, amenable groupoid is simple if and only if the groupoid is topologically principal and minimal. We also show that if G has totally disconnected unit space, then the associated…

We give an explicit description of the tracial state simplex of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G)$ of an arbitrary connected, second countable, locally compact, solvable group $G$. We show that every tracial state of $C^*(G)$ lifts from a tracial…

We show that if $G$ is a second countable locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid carrying a suitable cocycle $c:G\to\mathbb{Z}$, then the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ can be realised naturally as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a locally compact Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoid. We call a tracial state $\tau$ on a general groupoid $C^*$-algebra $C_\nu^*(\mathcal{G})$ canonical if $\tau=\tau|_{C_0(\mathcal{G}^{(0)})} \circ E$, where…

Suppose $G$ is a second countable, locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid with a fixed left Haar system. Let $\go/G$ denote the orbit space of $G$ and $C^*(G)$ denote the groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Suppose that the isotropy groups of $G$ are…

In this paper we construct and study the representation theory of a Hopf C^*-algebra with approximate unit, which constitutes quantum analogue of a compact group C^*-algebra. The construction is done by first introducing a…

We study the question whether the representations defined by a dense subset of the unit space of a locally compact \'etale groupoid are enough to determine the reduced norm on the groupoid C$^*$-algebra. We present sufficient conditions for…

Radial representations of finitely generated free groups are studied. The associated C*-algebra is located between the reduced and full group C*-algebras and its primitive ideal space is described concretely as a topological space.

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 provide a unified treatment of several results concerning full groups of ample groupoids and paradoxical decompositions attached to them. This includes a criterion for the full group of an ample groupoid being amenable as well as…

This article extends the main results of the publication arXiv:2001.01312 to the case of a twisted groupoid. More precisely, it gives a decomposition of the C*-algebra of a twisted locally compact groupoid with Haar system in presence of a…
