A universal property for groupoid C*-algebras. II. Fell bundles

We define possibly unsaturated, upper semicontinuous Fell bundles over Hausdorff, locally compact groupoids and establish a universal property for representations of their full section C*-algebras on Hilbert modules over arbitrary C*-algebras. Based on this, we prove that the full section C*-algebra is functorial and exact, and we define a quasi-orbit space and a quasi-orbit map. We deduce and extend Renault’s Integration and Disintegration Theorems to general Fell bundles using our universal property.
