Abstract

We study homology of ample groupoids via the compactly supported Moore complex of the nerve. Let AA be a topological abelian group. For n0n\ge 0 set Cn(G;A):=Cc(Gn,A)C_n(\mathcal G;A) := C_c(\mathcal G_n,A) and define nA=i=0n(1)i(di)\partial_n^A=\sum_{i=0}^n(-1)^i(d_i)_*. This defines Hn(G;A)H_n(\mathcal G;A). The theory is functorial for continuous étale homomorphisms. It is compatible with standard reductions, including restriction to saturated clopen subsets. In the ample setting it is invariant under Kakutani equivalence. We reprove Matui type long exact sequences and identify the comparison maps at chain level. For discrete AA we prove a natural universal coefficient short exact sequence 0Hn(G)ZA ιnG Hn(G;A) κnG Tor1Z(Hn1(G),A)0.0\to H_n(\mathcal G)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}A\xrightarrow{\ \iota_n^{\mathcal G}\ }H_n(\mathcal G;A)\xrightarrow{\ \kappa_n^{\mathcal G}\ }\operatorname{Tor}_1^{\mathbb Z}\bigl(H_{n-1}(\mathcal G),A\bigr)\to 0. The key input is the chain level isomorphism Cc(Gn,Z)ZACc(Gn,A)C_c(\mathcal G_n,\mathbb Z)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}A\cong C_c(\mathcal G_n,A), which reduces the groupoid statement to the classical algebraic UCT for the free complex Cc(G,Z)C_c(\mathcal G_\bullet,\mathbb Z). We also isolate the obstruction for non-discrete coefficients. For a locally compact totally disconnected Hausdorff space XX with a basis of compact open sets, the image of ΦX:Cc(X,Z)ZACc(X,A)\Phi_X:C_c(X,\mathbb Z)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}A\to C_c(X,A) is exactly the compactly supported functions with finite image. Thus ΦX\Phi_X is surjective if and only if every fCc(X,A)f\in C_c(X,A) has finite image, and for suitable XX one can produce compactly supported continuous maps XAX\to A with infinite image. Finally, for a clopen saturated cover G0=U1U2\mathcal G_0=U_1\cup U_2 we construct a short exact sequence of Moore complexes and derive a Mayer-Vietoris long exact sequence for H(G;A)H_\bullet(\mathcal G;A) for explicit computations.
