Abstract: Suppose $G$ is a second countable, locally compact Hausdorff groupoid with abelian stabilizer subgroups and a Haar system. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the groupoid $C^{\ast }$-algebra to have Hausdorff spectrum. In particular we show that the spectrum of $C^{\ast }(G)$ is Hausdorff if and only if the stabilizers vary continuously with respect to the Fell topology, the orbit space $G^{(0)}/G$ is Hausdorff, and, given convergent sequences $ch{i}_{i}ochi$ and $gamm{a}_{i}cdotch{i}_{i}oomega$ in the dual stabilizer groupoid $hatS$ where the $gamm{a}_{i}inG$ act via conjugation, if $chi$ and $omega$ are elements of the same fiber then $chi=omega$

Review text

The work in this paper extends the result of \textit{D. P. Williams} [Ill. J. Math. 26, 317--321 (1982; Zbl 0466.22005)] which characterizes those transformation group \(C^*\)-algebras whose spectrum is Hausdorff, where the acting group is abelian. The greater generality discussed here is that of groupoid \(C^*\)-algebras associated to second countable, locally compact Hausdorff groupoids with a Haar system and abelian stabilizers. The main theorem shows that while Williams' two conditions giving a Hausdorff spectrum are still relevant, they are not sufficient, and a third condition is needed. Thus, the necessary and sufficient conditions producing a Hausdorff spectrum in this generality are not only that the stabilizers must vary continuously and the orbit space \(G^{(0)}/G\) must be Hausdorff, but in addition one needs a third technical condition about compatibility of convergent nets in \(G\) and in the dual of the stabilizer subgroups.
