Abstract
For a finitely generated discrete group , the -sectors of an orbifold are a disjoint union of orbifolds corresponding to homomorphisms from into a groupoid presenting . Here, we show that the inertia orbifold and -multi-sectors are special cases of the -sectors, and that the -sectors are orbifold covers of Leida's fixed-point sectors. In the case of a global quotient, we show that the -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 -sectors corresponding to a generalized loop space.
