Abstract

Let X be a path connected, locally path connected and semilocally simply connected space; let X be its universal cover. We discuss the existence and description of a Haar system on the fundamental groupoid Π1(X) of X. The existence of a Haar system on Π1(X) is justified when X is a second countable, locally compact and Hausdorff. We provide equivalent criteria for the existence of the Haar system on a locally compact (locally Hausdorff) fundamental groupoid in terms of certain measures on X and X. C^*(Π1(X)) is described using a result of Muhly, Renault and Williams. Finally, two formulae for the Haar system on Π1(X) in terms of measures on X or X are given.
