Analyzing the Weyl construction for dynamical Cartan subalgebras

Abstract: When the reduced twisted

C^{*}

-algebra

C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l G, c)

of a non-principal groupoid

m a t h c a l G

admits a Cartan subalgebra, Renault's work on Cartan subalgebras implies the existence of another groupoid description of

C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l G, c)

. In an earlier paper, joint with Reznikoff and Wright, we identified situations where such a Cartan subalgebra arises from a subgroupoid

m a t h c a l S

of

m a t h c a l G

. In this paper, we study the relationship between the original groupoids

m a t h c a l S, m a t h c a l G

and the Weyl groupoid and twist associated to the Cartan pair. We first identify the spectrum

m a t h f r a k B

of the Cartan subalgebra

C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l S, c)

. We then show that the quotient groupoid

m a t h c a l G / m a t h c a l S

acts on

m a t h f r a k B

, and that the corresponding action groupoid is exactly the Weyl groupoid of the Cartan pair. Lastly we show that, if the quotient map

m a t h c a l G o m a t h c a l G / m a t h c a l S

admits a continuous section, then the Weyl twist is also given by an explicit continuous
