Abstract

Let the groupoid GG with unit space G0G^0 act via a representation ρ\rho on a CC^*-correspondence H{\mathcal H} over the C0(G0)C_0(G^0)-algebra AA. By the universal property, GG acts on the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra OH{\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H} which becomes a C0(G0)C_0(G^0)-algebra. The action of GG commutes with the gauge action on OH{\mathcal O}_{{\mathcal H}}, therefore GG acts also on the core algebra OHT{\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H}^{\mathbb T}. We study the crossed product OHG{\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H}\rtimes G and the fixed point algebra OHG{\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H}^G and obtain similar results as in \cite{D}, where GG was a group. Under certain conditions, we prove that OHGOHG{\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H}\rtimes G\cong {\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H\rtimes G}, where HG\mathcal H\rtimes G is the crossed product CC^*-correspondence and that OHGOρ{\mathcal O}_{\mathcal H}^G\cong{\mathcal O}_\rho, where Oρ{\mathcal O}_\rho is the Doplicher-Roberts algebra defined using intertwiners. The motivation of this paper comes from groupoid actions on graphs. Suppose GG with compact isotropy acts on a discrete locally finite graph EE with no sources. Since C(G)C^*(G) is strongly Morita equivalent to a commutative CC^*-algebra, we prove that the crossed product C(E)GC^*(E)\rtimes G is stably isomorphic to a graph algebra. We illustrate with some examples.
