Abstract

Given a representation up to homotopy of a Lie algebroid on a 2-term complex of vector bundles, we define the corresponding holonomy as a strict 2-functor from a Weinstein path 2-groupoid to the gauge 2-groupoid of the underlying 2-term complex. We construct a corresponding transformation 2-groupoid and we prove that the 1-truncation of this 2-groupoid is isomorphic to the Weinstein groupoid of the VB-algebroid associated to a representation up to homotopy. As applications, we describe alternative integration schemes for semi-direct products of Lie 2-algebras and string algebras.
