Abstract: The paper establishes, for a wide class of locally compact groupoids $Gamma$, the E-theoretic descent functor at the $C^{\ast }$-algebra level, in a way parallel to that established for locally compact groups by Guentner, Higson and Trout. The second section shows that $Gamma$-actions on a $C_0(X)$-algebra $B$, where $X$ is the unit space of $Gamma$, can be usefully formulated in terms of an action on the associated bundle $B^{sharp}$. The third section shows that the functor $Bo{C}^{\ast }(Gamma,B)$ is continuous and exact, and uses the disintegration theory of J. Renault. The last section establishes the existence of the descent functor under a very mild condition on $Gamma$, the main technical difficulty involved being that of finding a $Gamma$-algebra that plays the role of C_{b}(T,B)^{cont}$ in the group case.

Review text

For \(G\) a locally compact group and for \(G\)-\(C^{*}\)-algebras \(A\) and \(B\), the descent homomorphism \[ j_{G} \: KK_{G} (A,B) \rightarrow KK (C^{*}(G,A), C^{*}(G,B)) \] plays an important role in Kasparov's bivariant \(K\)-theory. \textit{P.-Y. Le Gall} [K-Theory 16, 361--390 (1999; Zbl 0932.19004)] has exhibited a \(KK\)-theoretic descent homomorphism in which the group \(G\) is replaced by a locally compact, \(\sigma\)-compact, Hausdorff groupoid \(\Gamma\) with left Haar system. \textit{E. Guentner}, \textit{N. Higson} and \textit{J. Trout} [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 703 (2000; Zbl 0983.19003)] have developed group-equivariant \(E\)-theory, with an associated descent homomorphism. Building on the theory of groupoid-equivariant asymptotic morphisms developed by \textit{R. Popescu} [J. Funct. Anal. 209, 247--292 (2004; Zbl 1059.46054)], the paper under review provides a groupoid version of the \(E\)-theoretic descent homomorphism. Introducing a new formulation of the standard definition of groupoid \(\Gamma\)-actions on \(C^{*}\)-algebras, the author establishes continuity and exactness of the functor that constructs crossed product algebras. The major technical issue addressed in the paper is the construction of an algebra admitting a continuous \(\Gamma\)-action over the half-infinite interval used in the definition of asymptotic morphisms. The author addresses this issue under the hypothesis of a kind of local transversality for the groupoid. He notes that \(r\)-discrete groupoids, transformation group groupoids, and many (perhaps all) Lie groupoids satisfy the hypothesis.
