The Jiang--Su algebra Z has come to prominence in the classification program for nuclear C*-algebras of late, due primarily to the fact that Elliott's classification conjecture predicts that all simple, separable, and nuclear C*-algebras…

We give the first examples of \'etale (non-Hausdorff) groupoids $\mathcal G$ whose $C^*$-algebras contain singular elements that cannot be approximated by singular elements in $\mathcal C_c(\mathcal G)$. We provide two examples: one is a…

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…

We formally introduce the concept of localizing the Elliott conjecture at a given strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra $D$; we also explain how the known classification theorems for nuclear C*-algebras fit into this concept. As a new result…

We show how to construct a graded locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid from a C*-algebra carrying a coaction of a discrete group, together with a suitable abelian subalgebra. We call this groupoid the extended Weyl groupoid. When the…

A semigroupoid is a set equipped with a partially defined associative operation. Given a semigroupoid \Lambda we construct a C*-algebra C*(\Lambda) from it. We then present two main examples of semigroupoids, namely the Markov semigroupoid…

We construct a locally compact groupoid with the properties in the title. Our example is based closely on constructions used by Higson, Lafforgue, and Skandalis in their work on counterexamples to the Baum-Connes conjecture. It is a bundle…

We consider a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $G$, and twist by a more general locally compact Hausdorff abelian group $\Gamma$ rather than the complex unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We investigate the construction of $C^*$-algebras in…

We give an alternative construction of the essential $C^*$-algebra of an \'etale groupoid, along with an ``amenability'' notion for such groupoids that is implied by the nuclearity of this essential $C^*$-algebra. In order to do this we…

We describe the envelope C*-algebra associated to a partial action of a countable discrete group on a locally compact space as a groupoid C*-algebra (more precisely as a C*-algebra from an equivalence relation) and we use our approach to…

Given a locally compact group $G$ and a unitary representation $\rho:G\to U({\mathcal H})$ on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$, we construct a $C^*$-correspondence ${\mathcal E}(\rho)={\mathcal H}\otimes_{\mathbb C} C^*(G)$ over $C^*(G)$ and…

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…

We describe a construction by G\'abor Elek, associating C*-algebras with uniformly recurrent subgroups, in the language of groupoid C*-algebras. This allows us to simplify several proofs in the original paper and fully characterise their…

Let $c:\mathcal{G}\to\R$ be a cocycle on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ with Haar system. Under some mild conditions (satisfied by all integer valued cocycles on \'{e}tale groupoids), $c$ gives rise to an unbounded odd…

For an \'{e}tale groupoid, we define a pairing between the Crainic-Moerdijk groupoid homology and the simplex of invariant Borel probability measures on the base space. The main novelty here is that the groupoid need not have totally…
