6 Groupoids Definition A groupoid is a category where every arrow is invertible.

7 Groupoids Definition A groupoid is a category where every arrow is invertible. Source/target maps: G = { arrows } { objects } = M t(g) g s(g)

8 Groupoids Definition A groupoid is a category where every arrow is invertible. Source/target maps: G = { arrows } { objects } = M t(g) g s(g) Multiplication, inversion and unit: g h t(g) g s(g)=t(h) h s(h) 1 x x t(g) g g 1 s(g) m : G s t G G ε : M G i : G G

9 Lie Groupoids Definition A Lie groupoid is a groupoid G M where G and M are manifolds, s, t : G M are submersions, and m : G s t G G, ε : M G and i : G G are smooth.

10 Lie Groupoids Definition A Lie groupoid is a groupoid G M where G and M are manifolds, s, t : G M are submersions, and m : G s t G G, ε : M G and i : G G are smooth. Basic concepts: source/target fibers s 1 (x), t 1 (x) (closed submanifolds); orbits: O x = t(s 1 (x)) (immersed submanifolds); isotropy Lie groups: G x = s 1 (x) t 1 (x) (Lie groups);

13 Lie Groupoids and Moduli Spaces/Stacks Given a Lie groupoid G M its coarse moduli space is: M/G with the quotient topology. Information is lost! Instead: Definition A differentiable stack is a Morita equivalence class of Lie groupoids. (i.e, a Lie groupoid is an atlas for a stack and Morita equivalence is the notion of equivalence for such atlas)

14 Lie algebroids

15 Lie algebroids Definition A Lie algebroid is a vector bundle A M, with a Lie bracket [, ] : Γ(A) Γ(A) Γ(A) and a bundle map ρ : A TM, called the anchor, such that: [s 1, fs 2 ] = f [s 1, s 2 ] + ρ(s 1 )(f )s 2, f C (M), s 1, s 2 Γ(A).

16 Lie algebroids Definition A Lie algebroid is a vector bundle A M, with a Lie bracket [, ] : Γ(A) Γ(A) Γ(A) and a bundle map ρ : A TM, called the anchor, such that: [s 1, fs 2 ] = f [s 1, s 2 ] + ρ(s 1 )(f )s 2, f C (M), s 1, s 2 Γ(A). Basic concepts: Orbits: ρ([s 1, s 2 ]) = [ρ(s 1 ), ρ(s 2 )] Im ρ is integrable (singular) distribution. Isotropy Lie algebras: For x M, [, ] restricts to Lie bracket on g x := ker ρ. There is also a notion of Lie algebroid morphism.

17 Lie Functor Given G M there is an associated Lie algebroid A(G) M:

26 Lie s fundamental theorems Lie I: Given a source connected Lie groupoid G M there is a unique source 1-connected Lie groupoid G M with A( G) A(G) and a unique cover of Lie groupoids G G;

27 Lie s fundamental theorems Lie I: Given a source connected Lie groupoid G M there is a unique source 1-connected Lie groupoid G M with A( G) A(G) and a unique cover of Lie groupoids G G; Lie II: Given a source 1-connected Lie groupoid G 1 M 1 and a Lie groupoid G 2 M 2, each Lie algebroid morphism φ : A(G 1 ) A(G 2 ) integrates to a unique Lie groupoid morphism Φ : G 1 G 2 with Φ = φ;

28 Lie s fundamental theorems Lie I: Given a source connected Lie groupoid G M there is a unique source 1-connected Lie groupoid G M with A( G) A(G) and a unique cover of Lie groupoids G G; Lie II: Given a source 1-connected Lie groupoid G 1 M 1 and a Lie groupoid G 2 M 2, each Lie algebroid morphism φ : A(G 1 ) A(G 2 ) integrates to a unique Lie groupoid morphism Φ : G 1 G 2 with Φ = φ; Lie III fails: not every Lie algebroid arises from a Lie groupoid. Obstructions are completely understood.
