Tracial weights on topological graph algebras

We describe two kinds of regular invariant measures on the boundary path space $\partial E$ of a second countable topological graph E, which allows us to describe all extremal tracial weights on $C^{*}(E)$ which are not gauge-invariant. Using this description, we prove that all tracial weights on the C$^{*}$-algebra $C^{*}(E)$ of a second countable topological graph E are gauge-invariant when E is free. This in particular implies that all tracial weights on $C^{*}(E)$ are gauge-invariant when $C^{*}(E)$ is simple and separable.
