The Mackey machine for crossed products by regular groupoids. II (Q444703)

The paper continues [the author, Houston J. Math. 36, No. 2, 567--590 (2010; Zbl 1219.46060)], where an induction process for groupoid crossed products was constructed. In the present paper, it is realized the goal of indentifying the space of irreducible representations of certain crossed products by exhibiting a natural action of \(G\) on the spectrum \((A\rtimes G)^\wedge\), showing that induction defines a map from the spectrum of \((A\rtimes S)\) onto the spectrum \(A\rtimes G\), and then proving that this map factors to a homeomorphism between the orbit space \((A\rtimes G)^\wedge /G\) and \((A\rtimes G)^\wedge\). The outline of the paper is roughly as follows. Section 1 covers some crossed product theory. Section 2 contains the main result of the paper. Section 3 strengthens the results of Section 2 in the context of groupoid algebras.
