RT journal article T1 Simplicity of algebras associated to non-hausdorff groupoids A1 Clark, Lisa Orloff A1 Exel, Ruy A1 Pardo Espino, Enrique A1 Sims, Aidan A1 Starling, Charles A2 Matemáticas K1 Groupoid C*-algebra K1 Steinberg algebra K1 Self-similar graph algebra AB We prove a uniqueness theorem and give a characterization of simplicity for Steinberg algebras associated to non-Hausdorff ample groupoids. We also prove a uniqueness theorem and give a characterization of simplicity for the C*-algebra associated to non-Hausdorff ́etale groupoids. Then we show how our results apply in the setting of tight representations of inverse semigroups, groups acting on graphs, and self-similar actions. In particular, we show that C*-algebra and the complex Steinberg algebra of the self-similar action of the Grigorchuk group are simple but the Steinberg algebra with coefficients in Z_2 is not simple.
