Abstract

Renault proved in 2008 [22, Theorem 5.2] that if G is a topologically principal groupoid, then C0(G(0)) is a Cartan subalgebra in Cr (G,Σ) for any twist Σ over G. However, there are many groupoids which are not topologically principal, yet their (twisted) C-algebras admit Cartan subalgebras. This paper gives a dynamical description of a class of such Cartan subalgebras, by identifying conditions on a 2-cocycle c on G and a subgroupoid S⊆G under which Cr (S,c) is Cartan in Cr (G,c). When G is a discrete group, we also describe the Weyl groupoid and twist associated to these Cartan pairs, under mild additional hypotheses.

Funding

This research was begun during the 2018 BIRS workshop “Women in Operator Algebras,” which was partially supported by the AWM's ADVANCE grant, and continued while the authors were in residence at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California, during the summer of 2019. Funding for the latter stay was provided by NSA grant H98230-19-1-0119 , NSF grant 1440140 , the Lyda Hill Foundation , the McGovern Foundation , and Microsoft Research . The second author was also partially supported by NSF grant DMS-1800749 , and the fourth author was partially supported by the Simons Foundation grant 360563 .
