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 $C^*$-algebra to have Hausdorff spectrum. In particular we show that the spectrum of $C^*(G)$ is Hausdorff if and only if the stabilizers vary continuously with respect to the Fell topology, the orbit space $G\unit/G$ is Hausdorff, and, given convergent sequences $\chi_i\to \chi$ and $\gamma_i\cdot\chi_i \to \omega$ in the dual stabilizer groupoid $\widehat{S}$ where the $\gamma_i\in G$ act via conjugation, if $\chi$ and $\omega$ are elements of the same fiber then $\chi = \omega$. 10.1017/S0004972713000129
