Abstract
The Zappa–Szép (ZS) product of two groupoids is a generalization of the semi-direct product: instead of encoding one groupoid action by homomorphisms, the ZS product groupoid encodes two (non-homomorphic, but “compatible”) actions of the groupoids on each other. Together with my collaborator Boyu Li, I have been working on various ways of generalizing this construction to the world of C*-algebras. In this talk, I will introduce you to our generalization of the ZS product to two twists over groupoids and, if time permits, I will show how our construction ties in with Weyl twists from Cartan pairs arising from Kumjian—Renault theory. Based on joint work with Boyu Li, New Mexico State University.
