Abstract

Let GG be a locally compact group and PGP \subset G be a closed Ore semigroup containing the identity element. Let V:PB(\clh)V: P \to B(\clh) be a representation such that for every aPa \in P, VaV_{a} is an isometry and the final projections of {Va:aP}\{V_{a}: a \in P\} commute. In this article, we study the CC^{*}-algebra WV(P,G)\mathcal{W}_{V}(P,G), generated by {f(a)Vada:fL1(P)}\{\int f(a)V_{a} da: f \in L^{1}(P)\}. We show that there exists a universal CC^{*}-algebra, which admits a groupoid description, of which WV(P,G)\mathcal{W}_{V}(P,G) is a quotient. If P=GP=G, then this universal algebra is just C(G)C^{*}(G).
