商品描述

This book develops tools to handle C*-algebras arising as completions of convolution algebras of sections of line bundles over possibly non-Hausdorff groupoids. A fundamental result of Gelfand describes commutative C*-algebras as continuous functions on locally compact Hausdorff spaces.

Kumjian, and later Renault, showed that Gelfand's result can be extended to include non-commutative C*-algebras containing a commutative C*-algebra. In their setting, the C*-algebras in question may be described as the completion of convolution algebras of functions on twisted Hausdorff groupoids with respect to a certain norm. However, there are many natural settings in which the Kumjian-Renault theory does not apply, in part because the groupoids which arise are not Hausdorff. In fact, non-Hausdorff groupoids have been a source of surprising counterexamples and technical difficulties for decades. Including numerous illustrative examples, this book extends the Kumjian-Renault theory to a much broader class of C*-algebras.

This work will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the area of groupoid C*-algebras, the interface between dynamical systems and C*-algebras, and related fields.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書開發了處理 C*-代數的工具，這些代數是作為可能非豪斯多夫群體的線束截面的卷積代數的完備化。Gelfand 的一個基本結果描述了可交換的 C*-代數作為在局部緊豪斯多夫空間上的連續函數。

Kumjian，後來的 Renault，顯示 Gelfand 的結果可以擴展到包括包含可交換 C*-代數的非可交換 C*-代數。在他們的設定中，所討論的 C*-代數可以描述為在扭曲豪斯多夫群體上相對於某個範數的函數的卷積代數的完備化。然而，在許多自然的情境中，Kumjian-Renault 理論並不適用，部分原因是所產生的群體不是豪斯多夫的。事實上，非豪斯多夫群體幾十年來一直是驚人反例和技術困難的來源。本書包含了許多說明性例子，將 Kumjian-Renault 理論擴展到更廣泛的 C*-代數類別。

這項工作將對研究群體 C*-代數、動態系統與 C*-代數之間的接口以及相關領域的研究人員和研究生感興趣。
