The homology of principally directed ordered groupoids

Abstract

We present some homological properties of a relation $\beta$ on ordered groupoids that generalises the minimum group congruence for inverse semigroups. When $\beta$ is a transitive relation on an ordered groupoid $G$, the quotient $G/\beta$ is again an ordered groupoid, and construct a pair of adjoint functors between the module categories of $G$ and of $G/\beta$. As a consequence, we show that the homology of $G$ is completely determined by that of $G/\beta$, generalising a result of Loganathan for inverse semigroups.
