Abstract

For a finitely generated discrete group Γ\Gamma, the Γ\Gamma-sectors of an orbifold QQ are a disjoint union of orbifolds corresponding to homomorphisms from Γ\Gamma into a groupoid presenting QQ. Here, we show that the inertia orbifold and kk-multi-sectors are special cases of the Γ\Gamma-sectors, and that the Γ\Gamma-sectors are orbifold covers of Leida's fixed-point sectors. In the case of a global quotient, we show that the Γ\Gamma-sectors correspond to orbifolds considered by other authors for global quotient orbifolds as well as their direct generalization to the case of an orbifold given by a quotient by a Lie group. Furthermore, we develop a model for the Γ\Gamma-sectors corresponding to a generalized loop space.
