We present some features of the smooth structure, and of the canonical stratification on the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid. One of the main features is that of Morita invariance of these structures - it allows us to talk about the…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of equivariant real structures on complex symmetric spaces for semisimple groups and discuss how to determine the number of equivalence classes for such structures.

In the setting of strict wonderful varieties we answer positively to Luna's conjecture, saying that wonderful varieties are classified by combinatorial objects, the so-called spherical systems. In particular, we prove that strict wonderful…
