Localization and Non-propagation in a Groupoid Framework

Abstract

Normal elements (or multipliers) of the C* algebra of a certain class of locally compact groupoids admit a natural faithful representation as normal operators on the $L^2$-space of a dense orbit of the groupoid. We prove norm estimates on the product between elements of the functional calculus of these operators and multiplication operators, subject to suitable restrictions expressed in terms of the orbit structure of the groupoid. As a consequence, one gets uniform estimates on the local behavior of the evolution group of the operators.
