Abstract

We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the partial actions of a groupoid $G$ on a set $X$ and the inverse semigroupoid actions of the Exel's inverse semigroupoid $S(G)$ on $X$. We also define inverse semigroupoid representations on a Hilbert space $H$, as well as the Exel's partial groupoid $C^*$-algebra $C_p^*(G)$, and we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between partial groupoid representations of $G$ on $H$, inverse semigroupoid representations of $S(G)$ on $H$ and $C^*$-algebra representations of $C_p^*(G)$ on $H$.
