Von Neumann algebras as reduced twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebras

We characterize the von Neumann algebras that are isomorphic, as $C^*$-algebras, to reduced twisted $C^*$-algebras of locally compact Hausdorff groupoids equipped with continuous Haar systems of full support. They are exactly the subhomogeneous von Neumann algebras, equivalently finite products of matrix algebras over...
