As groupoids generalize groups, motivated by group extensions we consider a kind of fibrations of Lie groupoids, called locally topological product Lie groupoid fibrations with fiber $\sf A$, i.e., \[ 1\rightarrow {\sf A} \rightarrow {\sf G} \rightarrow {\sf K}\rightarrow 1 \] where $\sf A,\sf G$ and $\sf K$ are Lie gr…

We show that Poisson fibrations integrate to a special kind of symplectic fibrations, called fibered symplectic groupoids.

In this thesis, we employ simplicial methods to study actions, principal bundles, and bibundles of higher groupoids. Roughly, we use Kan fibrations to model actions of higher groupoids, we use pairs of a Kan fibration and a special acyclic fibration to model principal bundles of higher groupoids, we use inner Kan fibra…

Extends connections on Lie groupoids, proving completeness conditions.

In this paper, we generalize the notion of Serre fibration to the Morita category of topological groupoids and derive the associated long exact sequence of homotopy groups. We use this results for calculation of homotopy groups of various groupoids, such as the foliation groupoid of a Riemannian foliation.

Lie $\infty$-groupoids are simplicial Banach manifolds that satisfy an analog of the Kan condition for simplicial sets. An explicit construction of Henriques produces certain Lie $\infty$-groupoids called `Lie $\infty$-groups' by integrating finite type Lie $n$-algebras. In order to study the compatibility between this…

The paper constructs automorphisms of Lie groupoids and applies them to symplectic reductions on orbifolds.

We study Riemannian metrics on Lie groupoids in the relative setting. We show that any split fibration between proper groupoids can be made Riemannian, and we use these metrics to linearize proper groupoid fibrations. As an application, we derive rigidity theorems for Lie groupoids, which unify, simplify and improve si…

Let $\mathcal{G} \rightrightarrows M$ be a source locally trivial proper Lie groupoid such that each orbit is of finite type. The orbit projection $M \to M/\mathcal{G}$ is a fibration if and only if $\mathcal{G} \rightrightarrows M$ is regular.

New Morita equivalence for diffeological groupoids defined.

The paper extends a fibration theorem to all orbifolds, proving an isomorphism conjecture.

In this paper we consider a family of Dirac-type operators on fibration $P \to B$ equivariant with respect to an action of an etale groupoid. Such a family defines an element in the bivariant $K$ theory. We compute the action of the bivariant Chern character of this element on the image of Connes' map $Φ$ in the cyclic…

Extends Serre-Swan theorem to all finitely generated modules over smooth functions.

The paper defines and analyzes configuration Lie groupoids and orbifold braid groups.

Study of gauge theory and parallel transport in Lie 2-group bundles over Lie groupoids.

The notion of a quaternionic gerbe is presented as a new way of bundling algebraic structures over a four manifold. The structure groupoid of this fibration is described in some detail. The Euclidean conformal group R*SO(4) appears naturally as a (non-commutative) monoidal structure on this groupoid. Using this monoida…

Clarifies relation between Pfaffian fibrations and relative algebroids.

This paper classifies Hamiltonian actions by symplectic groupoids using Delzant subspaces.

Coupling Dirac structures are Dirac structures defined on the total space of a fibration, generalizing hamiltonian fibrations from symplectic geometry, where one replaces the symplectic structure on the fibers by a Poisson structure. We study the associated Poisson gauge theory, in order to describe the presymplectic g…

Parallel transport defined for 2-bundles over Lie groupoids.

Geometric models for representations up to homotopy using simplicial vector bundles.

Paper develops equivariant basic cohomology for Lie groupoids.

For a Lie groupoid G with a twisting (a PU(H)-principal bundle over G), we use the (geometric) deformation quantization techniques supplied by Connes tangent groupoids to define an analytic index morphism in twisted K-theory. In the case the twisting is trivial we recover the analytic index morphism of the groupoid. Fo…

In this paper, we investigate topological aspects of indices of twisted geometric operators on manifolds equipped with fibered boundaries. We define $K$-groups relative to the pushforward for boundary fibration, and show that indices of twisted geometric operators, defined by complete $Φ$ or edge metrics, can be regard…

The paper extends a theorem about momentum maps to singular symplectic spaces.

Using recently introduced Debord-Skandalis Blup's groupoids we study index theory for a compact foliated manifold with boundary inducing a foliation in its boundary. For this we consider first a blup groupoid whose Lie algebroid has sections consisting of vector fields tangent to the leaves in the interior and tangent …

Paper defines PB-groupoids and their relation to VB-groupoids.

The paper generalizes bundle gerbes over groupoids and their correspondence with PB groupoids.

We apply the bar construction to the nerve of a double Lie groupoid to obtain a local Lie 2-groupoid. As an application, we recover Haefliger's fundamental groupoid from the fundamental double groupoid of a Lie groupoid. In the case of a symplectic double groupoid, we study the induced closed 2-form on the associated l…

In this paper we construct two groupoids from morphisms of groupoids, with one from a categorical viewpoint and the other from a geometric viewpoint. We show that for each pair of groupoids, the two kinds of groupoids of morphisms are equivalent. Then we study the automorphism groupoid of a groupoid.

A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of monodromy groupoid of a topological groupoid generalises those of fundamental groupoi…

We outline the construction of the holonomy groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid and the monodromy groupoid of a Lie groupoid. These specialise to the well known holonomy and monodromy groupoids of a foliation, when the groupoid is just an equivalence relation.

We introduce the notions of a differentiable groupoid and a differentiable stratified groupoid, generalizations of Lie groupoids in which the spaces of objects and arrows have the structures of differentiable spaces, respectively differentiable stratified spaces, compatible with the groupoid structure. After studying b…

We complete the construction of the double Lie algebroid of a double Lie groupoid begun in the first paper of this title. We show that the Lie algebroid structure of an LA--groupoid may be prolonged to the Lie algebroid of its Lie groupoid structure; in the case of a double groupoid this prolonged structure for either …

We discuss two sorts of generalization of Lie groupoids. One is Lie $n$-groupoids defined as simplicial manifolds with trivial $π_{k\geq n+1}$. The other is the stacky Lie groupoid $\cG\rra M$ with $\cG$ a differentiable stack. We build 1-1 correspondence between Lie 2-groupoids and stacky Lie groupoids up to a certain…

In this work we deal with coverings and actions of Lie group- groupoids being a sort of the structured Lie groupoids. Firstly, we define an action of a Lie group-groupoid on some Lie group and the smooth coverings of Lie group-groupoids. Later, we show the equivalence of the category of smooth actions of Lie group-grou…

We introduce the notion of Glanon groupoids, which are Lie groupoids equipped with multiplicative generalized complex structures. It combines symplectic groupoids, holomorphic Lie groupoids and holomorphic Poisson groupoids into a unified framework. Their infinitesimal, Glanon Lie algebroids are studied. We prove that …

Solves open problem on Lie groupoids equivalence.

In this note a functorial approach to the integration problem of an LA-groupoid to a double Lie groupoid is discussed. To do that, we study the notions of fibred products in the categories of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such. In particular, it turns …

We approach Mackenzie's LA-groupoids from a supergeometric point of view by introducing Q-groupoids, which are groupoid objects in the category of Q-manifolds. There is a faithful functor from the category of LA-groupoids to the category of Q-groupoids. We associate to every Q-groupoid a double complex that provides a …

In this paper we study the Lie groupoids which appear in foliation theory. A foliation groupoid is a Lie groupoid which integrates a foliation, or, equivalently, whose anchor map is injective. The first theorem shows that, for a Lie groupoid G, the following are equivalent: - G is a foliation groupoid, - G has discrete…

Locally conformal symplectic (l.c.s.) groupoids are introduced as a generalization of symplectic groupoids. We obtain some examples and we prove that l.c.s. groupoids are examples of Jacobi groupoids in the sense of \cite{IM}. Finally, we describe the Lie algebroid of a l.c.s. groupoid.

The article proves Lie's third theorem for Lie algebroids via singular Lie groupoids.

Integrates singular subalgebroids using diffeological groupoids.

We discuss two generalizations of Lie groupoids. One consists of Lie $n$-groupoids defined as simplicial manifolds with trivial $π_{k\geq n+1}$. The other consists of stacky Lie groupoids $\cG\rra M$ with $\cG$ a differentiable stack. We build a 1-1 correspondence between Lie 2-groupoids and stacky Lie groupoids up to …
