representation of locally compact groupoids

(Definition)

Definition 0.1. Let Glc be a locally compact topological groupoid endowed with a Haar system

ν = {νu : u ∈ UGlc}.

A representation of Glc together with its associated Haar system ν is defined as a triple

(μ, UGlc ∗ ℋ, L),

where:

  • μ is a quasi-invariant measure defined on UGlc;
  • UGlc ∗ℋ is an analytical fibered Hilbert space, or Hilbert bundle, over UGlc; and
  • L : UGlc − → Iso(UGlc ∗ ℋ )

    is a Borel groupoid morphism whose restriction to UGlc is the identification map. Thus the unit space

    UIso(UG ∗ℋ)
       lc

    is identified via L with UGlc.

For x ∈ Glc, write

L(x) = [r(x), ^L(x),d(x )],

where

^L (x ) : ℋ(d (x )) −→ ℋ (r(x))

is a Hilbert-space isomorphism.
