"The Ideal Intersection Property for Essential Groupoid C*-Algebras"
Groupoids give a very large class of examples of C*-algebras. For example, it is known that every classifiable C*-algebra arises as the reduced C*-algebra of some twisted groupoid. In joint work with Matthew Kennedy, Se-Jin Kim, Xin Li, and Sven Raum, we fully characterize when the essential C*-algebra of an étale groupoid G with locally compact unit space has the ideal intersection property. This is done in terms of the dynamics of G on the space of subgroups of the isotropy groups of G. The essential and reduced C*-algebras coincide in the case of Hausdorff groupoids, and the ideal intersection property is the same as simplicity in the case of minimal groupoids. This generalizes the case of the reduced crossed product C(X) or G done by Kawabe, which in turn generalizes the case of the reduced C*-algebra C ∗ r (G) of a discrete group done by Breuillard, Kalantar, Kennedy, and Ozawa. No prior knowledge of groupoids will be required for this talk.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
