Abstract

When the reduced twisted CC^*-algebra Cr(G,c)C^*_r(\mathcal{G}, c) of a non-principal groupoid G\mathcal{G} admits a Cartan subalgebra, Renault's work on Cartan subalgebras implies the existence of another groupoid description of Cr(G,c)C^*_r(\mathcal{G}, c). In an earlier paper, joint with Reznikoff and Wright, we identified situations where such a Cartan subalgebra arises from a subgroupoid S\mathcal{S} of G\mathcal{G}. In this paper, we study the relationship between the original groupoids S,G\mathcal{S}, \mathcal{G} and the Weyl groupoid and twist associated to the Cartan pair. We first identify the spectrum B\mathfrak{B} of the Cartan subalgebra Cr(S,c)C^*_r(\mathcal{S}, c). We then show that the quotient groupoid G/S\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{S} acts on B\mathfrak{B}, and that the corresponding action groupoid is exactly the Weyl groupoid of the Cartan pair. Lastly we show that, if the quotient map GG/S\mathcal{G}\to\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{S} admits a continuous section, then the Weyl twist is also given by an explicit continuous 22-cocycle on G/SB\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{S} \ltimes \mathfrak{B}.
