Reconstructing étale groupoids from semigroups

Abstract

We unify various étale groupoid reconstruction theorems such as the following:

  1. Kumjian and Renault’s reconstruction from a groupoid C*-algebra;

  2. Exel’s reconstruction from an ample inverse semigroup;

  3. Steinberg’s reconstruction from a groupoid ring;

  4. Choi, Gardella and Thiel’s reconstruction from a groupoid Lp-algebra.

We do this by working with certain bumpy semigroups S of functions defined on an étale groupoid G. The semigroup structure of S together with the diagonal subsemigroup D then yields a natural domination relation on S. The groupoid of -ultrafilters is then isomorphic to the original groupoid G.
