contents We provide a framework for studying concrete C*-algebras associated with algebraic actions of semigroups: Given such an action, we construct an inverse semigroup, and we introduce conditions for algebraic actions that characterize Hausdorffness, topological freeness, and minimality of the associated tight groupoid. We parameterize all closed invariant subspaces of the unit space of our groupoid, and characterize topological freeness of the associated reduction groupoids. We prove that our groupoids are purely infinite whenever they are minimal, and in the topologically free case, we prove that our concrete C*-algebra is always a (possibly exotic) groupoid C*-algebra in the sense that it sits between the full and essential C*-algebras of our groupoid. As an application, we obtain structural results for C*-algebras associated with, for instance, shifts over semigroups, actions coming from commutative algebra, and non-commutative rings.
