Definition 0.1
is defined as the
class of continuous functions
acting on a topological groupoid
with compact support, and with values in a normed space, field,, or algebraic structure. In most applications it will, however, suffice to select
as a locally compact (topological) groupoid,
, support for this space of continuous functions.
Note:
this concept
is important for quantum theoretical applications related to quantum groupoids
defined by a
