In this paper we develop a new groupoid-based structure theory for the class of regular $*$-semigroups. This class occupies something of a `sweet spot' between the important classes of inverse and regular semigroups, and contains many…

We develop a theory of type semigroups for arbitrary twisted, not necessarily Hausdorff \'etale groupoids. The type semigroup is a dynamical version of the Cuntz semigroup. We relate it to traces, ideals, pure infiniteness, and stable…

We describe a special class of representations of an inverse semigroup S on Hilbert's space which we term "tight". These representations are supported on a subset of the spectrum of the idempotent semilattice of S, called the "tight…

In this paper we show that the universal C*-algebra satisfying the Cuntz-Li relations is generated by an inverse semigroup of partial isometries. We apply Exel's theory of tight representations to this inverse semigroup. We identify the…

We introduce locally involutive semigroups and embed them into the category of ordered groupoids. This embedding restricts to a correspondence between quasi-involutive semigroups and ordered groupoids with mediator, extending the classical…

A simple observation, showing that every groupoid becomes an inverse semigroup after adding one element. In such inverse semigroups all idempotents are mutually orthogonal. This fact implies that every C*-algebra of a discrete groupoid is a…

We give a new construction of a C*-algebra from a cancellative semigroup $P$ via partial isometric representations, generalising the construction from the second named author's thesis. We then study our construction in detail for the…

Given an action $\varphi$ of of inverse semigroup $S$ on a ring $A$ (with domain of $\varphi(s)$ denoted by $D_{s^*}$) we show that if the ideals $D_e$, with $e$ an idempotent, are unital, then the skew inverse semigroup ring $A\rtimes S$…

Using an algebraic point of view we present an introduction to the groupoid theory, that is, we give fundamental properties of groupoids as, uniqueness of inverses and properties of the identities, and study subgroupoids, wide subgroupoids…

We unify the classic Dauns-Hofmann representation with Kumjian and Renault's Weyl groupoid representation. More precisely, we use ultrafilters to represent C*-algebras with some additional structure on Fell bundles over locally compact…

We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated with directed graphs, along with two generalizations of this concept, namely Exel-Pardo $C^*$-algebras associated with a self-similar action of a group on a directed graph, and the $C^*$-algebras…

Let $K$ be a commutative ring with unit and $S$ an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra $KS$ can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal \'etale groupoid associated to $S$ by Paterson. This…

A groupoid correspondence on an etale, locally compact groupoid induces a C*-correspondence on its groupoid C*-algebra. We show that the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra for this C*-correspondence relative to an ideal associated to an open invariant…

We consider the group formed by finite renormalizations as an infinite-dimensional Lie group. It is demonstrated that for the finite renormalization of the gauge coupling constant its generators $\hat L_n$ with $n\ge 1$ satisfy the…

As a generalization of the Exel-Pardo's notion of self-similar graph, we introduce self-similar group actions on ultragraphs and their $C^*$-algebras. We then approach to the $C^*$-algebras by inverse semigroup and tight groupoid models.

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…

Given a self-similar groupoid action $(G,E)$ on the path space of a finite graph, we study the associated Exel-Pardo \'etale groupoid ${\mathcal G}(G,E)$ and its $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G,E)$. We review some facts about groupoid actions, skew…

We generalize the Li-Yang notion of self-similar $k$-graph $(G,\Lambda)$ and its $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{G,\Lambda}$ to any finitely aligned $k$-graph $\Lambda$. We then introduce an inverse semigroup model for $\mathcal{O}_{G,\Lambda}$…
