It was noticed recently that, given a metric space $(X,d_X)$, the equivalence classes of metrics on the disjoint union of the two copies of $X$ coinciding with $d_X$ on each copy form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$ with respect to…
We study the path category of an inverse semigroup admitting unique maximal idempotents and give an abstract characterization of the inverse semigroups arising from zigzag maps on a left cancellative category. As applications we show that…
We characterize the inverse semigroups that are Morita equivalent to graph inverse semigroups. We also consider a generalization to inverse semigroups associated with left cancellative categories.
We introduce strong Morita equivalence for inverse semigroups. This notion encompasses Mark Lawson's concept of enlargement. Strongly Morita equivalent inverse semigroups have Morita equivalent universal groupoids in the sense of Paterson…
We describe the $C^*$-algebra of an $E$-unitary or strongly 0-$E$-unitary inverse semigroup as the partial crossed product of a commutative $C^*$-algebra by the maximal group image of the inverse semigroup. We give a similar result for the…
We give a notion of equivalence for Fell bundles over groups, not necessarily saturated nor separable, and show that equivalent Fell bundles have Morita-Rieffel equivalent cross-sectional $C^*$-algebras. Our notion is originated in the…
We introduce a category of inverse semigroup actions and a category of \'etale groupoids. We show that there are three functors which send inverse semigroups to their spectral actions, inverse semigroup actions to their transformation…
Inverse semigroups are the abstract counterparts of pseudogroups of transformations. The abstract counterparts of atlases in differential geometry are what Wagner termed `generalized heaps'. These are sets equipped with a ternary operation…
We interpret several constructions with C*-algebras as colimits in the bicategory of correspondences. This includes crossed products for actions of groups and crossed modules, Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of proper product systems, direct sums…
Taking advantage of the quantale-theoretic description of \'etale groupoids we study principal bundles, Hilsum-Skandalis maps, and Morita equivalence in terms of modules on inverse quantal frames. The Hilbert module description of quantale…
After recalling in detail some basic definitions on Hilbert C*-bimodules, Morita equivalence and imprimitivity, we discuss a spectral reconstruction theorem for imprimitivity Hilbert C*-bimodules over commutative unital C*-algebras and…
Recently we have shown that the equivalence classes of metrics on the double of a metric space $X$ form an inverse semigroup. Here we define an inverse subsemigroup related to a family of isometric subspaces of $X$, which is more…
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 previous work, we defined and studied $\Sigma^*$-modules, a class of Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras (the latter are $C^*$-algebras that are sequentially closed in the weak operator topology). The present work continues…
Graph inverse semigroups generalize the polycyclic inverse monoids and play an important role in the theory of C*-algebras. This paper has two main goals: first, to provide an abstract characterization of graph inverse semigroups; and…
We study several notions of shift equivalence for C*-correspondences and the effect that these equivalences have on the corresponding Pimsner dilations. Among others, we prove that non-degenerate, regular, full C*-correspondences which are…
Rings form a bicategory [Rings], with classes of bimodules as horizontal arrows, and bimodule maps as vertical arrows. The notion of Morita equivalence for rings can be translated in terms of bicategories in the following way. Two rings are…
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 prove that four different notions of Morita equivalence for inverse semigroups motivated by, respectively, $C^{\ast}$-algebra theory, topos theory, semigroup theory and the theory of ordered groupoids are equivalent. We also show that…
In this paper, we define the notion of induced representations of a Hilbert $C^{*}$-module and we show that Morita equivalence of two Hilbert modules (in the sense of Moslehian and Joita), implies the equivalence of categories of…
