Continuous functions on HLS groupoids
I am reading a paper about property (T) for groupoids: Topological property (T) for groupoids. In section 4.4 they discuss the HLS groupoids which I describe define here.
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete ...

Isomorphism between the reduced C*-algebra of a groupoid and the crossed product of inverse semigroups
In Paterson's book "Groupoids, Inverse Semigroups and their Operator Algebras" he proves that for any r-discrete groupoid $G$ with unit space $G^0$, its full $C^* $-algebra $C^* (G)$ is ...

Faithful traces on reduced $C^*$-algebra of a measured groupoid
Let $G$ be a measured étale groupoid with quasi-invariant measure $\mu$ (that induces the reduced $C^* $-algebra, meaning it has full support) with associated equivalent measures $\nu,\nu^{-1}$.
Is ...

Is $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ a groupoid $C^*$-algebra?
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be the $C^{\ast}$-algebra of bounded operators on $\mathcal{H}$. Is there an étale groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ such that its $C^{...

Does this groupoid have a quasi-diagonal reduced $C^*$-algebra?
Let $H$ be a discrete group, and let $X$ be the one-point compactification of $\mathbb{N}$. Consider the étale groupoid $G = H \times \{\infty\} \sqcup \mathbb{N}$, whose unit space is $X$, and with ...

Non-commutative duality I: Which C*-algebras are (isomorphic to a) convolution algebra?
Many interesting C*-algebras can be realized as convolution algebras over a groupoid, an idea introduced in 1980 by Jean Renault (this entry in nLab provides plenty of context to the general approach ...

Is the crossed product $\mathcal{K} \rtimes G$ a groupoid algebra?
Suppose G, a discrete group acting on the compact operators $\mathcal{K}$ by automorphism of C*-algebra $\mathcal{K}$. Can we view the crossed product as a groupoid C*-algebra of some groupoid?
This ...
