In mathematics, the concept of groupoid algebra generalizes the notion of group algebra.[1]

Definition

Given a groupoid and a field , it is possible to define the groupoid algebra as the algebra over formed by the vector space having the elements of as generators and having the multiplication of these elements defined by , whenever this product is defined, and otherwise. The product is then extended by linearity.[2]

Examples
