We study the category of left unital graded modules over the Steinberg algebra of a
graded ample Hausdorff groupoid. In the first part of the paper, we show that this
category is isomorphic to the category of unital left modules over the Steinberg
algebra of the skew-product groupoid arising from the grading. To do this, we show
that the Steinberg algebra of the skew product is graded isomorphic to a natural
generalisation of the Cohen–Montgomery smash product of the Steinberg algebra of
the underlying groupoid with the grading group. In the second part of the paper, we
study the minimal (that is, irreducible) representations in the category of graded
modules of a Steinberg algebra, and establish a connection between the
annihilator ideals of these minimal representations, and effectiveness of the
groupoid.
Specialising our results, we produce a representation of the monoid
of graded finitely generated projective modules over a Leavitt
path algebra. We deduce that the lattice of order-ideals in the
-group
of the Leavitt path algebra is isomorphic to the lattice of graded ideals of the algebra.
We also investigate the graded monoid for Kumjian–Pask algebras of row-finite
-graphs
with no sources. We prove that these algebras are graded von Neumann regular rings,
and record some structural consequences of this.
