Algebraic singular functions are not always dense in the ideal of $C^*$-singular functions

Abstract
We give the first examples of \'etale (non-Hausdorff) groupoids $\mathcal G$ whose $C^*$-algebras contain singular elements that cannot be approximated by singular elements in $\mathcal C_c(\mathcal G)$. We provide two examples: one is a bundle of groups, and the other a minimal and effective groupoid constructed from a self-similar action on an infinite alphabet. Moreover, we also prove that the Baum--Connes assembly map for the first example is not surjective, not even on the level of its essential $C^*$-algebra.
