An algebraic characterisation of ample type I groupoids

Abstract

AbstractWe give algebraic characterisations of the type I and CCR properties for locally compact second countable, ample Hausdorff groupoids in terms of subquotients of its Boolean inverse semigroup of compact open local bisections. It yields in turn algebraic characterisations of both properties for inverse semigroups with meets in terms of subquotients of their Booleanisation.
