Deformations of Lie groupoid morphisms

Differential Geometry 2023-12-21 v1

Abstract

We establish the deformation theory of Lie groupoid morphisms, describe the corresponding deformation cohomology of morphisms, and show the properties of the cohomology. We prove its invariance under isomorphisms of morphisms. Additionally, we establish stability properties of the morphisms using Moser-type arguments. Furthermore, we demonstrate the Morita invariance of the deformation cohomology and consider simultaneous deformations of the morphism, its domain, and codomain. These simultaneous deformations are utilized to define cohomology for generalized morphisms and to study deformations of multiplicative forms on Lie groupoids.
