Ample groupoid homology and \'etale correspondences

Abstract

We show that \'etale correspondences between ample groupoids induce homomorphisms of homology groups. To complement this we explore the module categories of ample groupoids. We construct an induction-restriction adjunction for subgroupoids, which generates a procedure for building resolutions of arbitrary groupoid modules. These resolutions can be used to work with the Tor picture of groupoid homology, enabling explicit descriptions of the maps in homology induced by \'etale correspondences.
