Abstract

Our primary objective is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for a triangular subalgebra of a groupoid C-algebra to be semisimple, i.e. to have vanishing Jacobson radical. If, in addition, the subalgebra is the analytic subalgebra determined by a real-valued cocycle on the groupoid, then we can give an explicit description of the radical in terms of the cocycle. As a consequence of this analysis, we are able to determine when certain analytic crossed products are semisimple.
