The speaker introduces topological quivers and constructs their associated C*-algebra. We present two independent constructions which arise in the presence of a cocycle (the topological ”skew product" and the algebraic coaction) and show that the constructions agree in a suitable sense. Along the way, we characterize the skew product based on some associated topological dynamics. Time permitting, we will explore future directions.
