Abstract

In this paper, we study the ideal structure of reduced $C^{\ast }$-algebras $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$ associated to étale groupoids $G$. In particular, we characterize when there is a one-to-one correspondence between the closed, two-sided ideals in $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$ and the open invariant subsets of the unit space $G^{(0)}$ of $G$. As a consequence, we show that if $G$ is an inner exact, essentially principal, ample groupoid, then $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$ is (strongly) purely infinite if and only if every non-zero projection in $C_{0}(G^{(0)})$ is properly infinite in $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$. We also establish a sufficient condition on the ample groupoid $G$ that ensures pure infiniteness of $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$ in terms of paradoxicality of compact open subsets of the unit space $G^{(0)}$. Finally, we introduce the type semigroup for ample groupoids and also obtain a dichotomy result: let $G$ be an ample groupoid with compact unit space which is minimal and topologically principal. If the type semigroup is almost unperforated, then $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$ is a simple $C^{\ast }$-algebra which is either stably finite or strongly purely infinite.
