Then, we compute its tight groupoid, thus giving a representation of its C*-algebra as a (full) groupoid algebra. Using it, we characterize when these algebras are simple. Also, we determine amenability of the tight groupoid under mild, reasonable hypotheses.}, organization = {The second-named author was partially supported by PAI III grant FQM-298 of the Junta de Andalucía, and by the DGI-MINECO and European Regional Development Fund, jointly, through grant MTM2017-83487-P.}, publisher = {arXiv.org}, keywords = {Left cancellative small category}, keywords = {inverse semigroup}, keywords = {tight representation}, keywords = {tight groupoid}, keywords = {groupoid C*-algebra}, title = {The tight groupoid of the inverse semigroups of left cancellative small categories}, author = {Ortega, Eduard and Pardo Espino, Enrique}, }
