It is well known that inverse semigroups are closely related to \'etale groupoids. In particular, it has recently been shown that there is a (non-functorial) equivalence between localic \'etale groupoids, on one hand, and complete and…
We establish a close and previously unknown relation between quantales and groupoids, in terms of which the notion of etale groupoid is subsumed in a natural way by that of quantale. In particular, to each etale groupoid, either localic or…
For a given inverse semigroup, one can associate an \'etale groupoid which is called the universal groupoid. Our motivation is studying the relation between inverse semigroups and associated \'etale groupoids. In this paper, we focus on…
This is a short survey paper, partly meant as a research announcement. Its purpose is to highlight some aspects of the interplay between quantales, inverse semigroups, and groupoids. Many of the results mentioned have not yet been presented…
We introduce the notion of wide representation of an inverse semigroup and prove that with a suitably defined topology there is a space of germs of such a representation which has the structure of an etale groupoid. This gives an elegant…
We study the projections of an arbitrary stably Gelfand quantale $Q$ and show that each projection determines a pseudogroup $S\subset Q$ (and a corresponding localic \'etale groupoid $G$) together with a map of involutive quantales…
A generalization of classical gauge theory is presented, in the framework of a noncommutative-geometric formalism of quantum principal bundles over smooth manifolds. Quantum counterparts of classical gauge bundles, and classical gauge…
For an arbitrary localic etale groupoid G we provide simple descriptions, in terms of modules over the quantale O(G) of the groupoid, of the continuous actions of G, including actions on open maps and sheaves. The category of G-actions is…
It is well known that if G is an \'etale topological groupoid then its topology can be recovered as the sup-lattice generated by G-sets, i.e. by the images of local bisections. This topology has a natural structure of unital involutive…
We introduce a generalization of the notion of approximately proper equivalence relations studied by Renault and with it we build an \'etale groupoid. Choosing a suitable set of continuous functions to play the role of a potential, we…
We provide three functorial extensions of the equivalence between localic etale groupoids and their quantales. The main result is a biequivalence between the bicategory of localic etale groupoids, with bi-actions as 1-cells, and a…
When a pair of \'etale groupoids $\mathcal{G}$ and $\mathcal{G}'$ on totally disconnected spaces are related in some way, we discuss the difference of their homology groups. More specifically, we treat two basic situations. In the…
We show that a generalization of quantales and prequantales provides a noncommutative and nonassociative abstract ideal theoretic setting for the theories of star operations, semistar operations, semiprime operations, ideal systems, and…
The famous equivalence theorem is reexamined in order to make it applicable to the case of intrinsically quantum infinite-component effective theories. We slightly modify the formulation of this theorem and prove it basing on the notion of…
We take advantage of the correspondence between pseudogroups and inverse quantal frames, and of the recent description of Morita equivalence for inverse quantal frames in terms of biprincipal bisheaves, to define Morita equivalence for…
We generalize the universal effective quantum number introduced earlier for centrally symmetric problems. The proposed number determines the semiclassical quantization condition for axially symmetric potentials.
A subclass of dynamical semigroups induced by the interaction of a quantum system with an environment is introduced. Such semigroups lead to the selection of a stable subalgebra of effective observables. The structure of this subalgebra is…
The main formal structures of Generalized Quantum Theory are summarized. Recent progress has sharpened some of the concepts, in particular the notion of an observable, the action of an observable on states (putting more emphasis on the role…
Taking into account the correspondence between open groupoids and their quantales, we establish a bijective correspondence between the principal $G$-bundles whose left projection is an open surjection and the principal $\opens(G)$-locales…
For a given inverse semigroup action on a topological space, one can associate an \'etale groupoid. We prove that there exists a correspondence between the certain subsemigroups and the open wide subgroupoids in case that the action is…
