We consider the notion of a connection on a principal bundle $P(M,G)$ from the point of view of the action of the tangential group $TG$. This leads to a new definition of a connection and allows to interpret gauge transformations as effect…

We survey the concept of multiplicativity from its initial appearance in the theory of Poisson-Lie groups to the far-reaching generalizations, for multivectors and differential forms in the geometry and the generalized geometry of Lie…

We explicitly construct a Lie groupoid integrating the elliptic tangent bundle associated to a (possibly normal crossing) elliptic divisor, providing a necessary and sufficient topological condition for the existence of a Hausdorff…

Let $(P, Y)$ be a bundle gerbe over a fibre bundle $Y \to M$. We show that if $M$ is simply-connected and the fibres of $Y \to M$ are connected and finite-dimensional then the Dixmier-Douady class of $(P, Y)$ is torsion. This corrects and…

We extend Turaev's definition of torsion invariants of 3-dimensional manifolds equipped with non-singular vector fields, by allowing (suitable) tangency circles to the boundary, and manifolds with non-zero Euler characteristic. We show that…

We formulate and establish a generalization of Koll\'ar's injectivity theorem for adjoint bundles twisted by suitable multiplier ideal sheaves. As applications, we generalize Koll\'ar's torsion-freeness, Koll\'ar's vanishing theorem, and a…

In this note we construct an infinite-dimensional Lie group structure on the group of vertical bisections of a regular Lie groupoid. We then identify the Lie algebra of this group and discuss regularity properties (in the sense of Milnor)…

The geometry of graded principal bundles is discussed in the framework of graded manifold theory of Kostant-Berezin-Leites. In particular, we prove that a graded principal bundle is globally trivial if and only if it admits a global graded…

A multiplicatively closed, horizontal $n$-plane field $D$ on a Lie groupoid $G$ over $M$ generalizes to intransitive geometry the classical notion of a Cartan connection. The infinitesimalization of the connection $D$ is a Cartan connection…

A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…

Let $\R$ be an alternative ring containing a nontrivial idempotent and $\D$ be a multiplicative Lie-type derivation from $\R$ into itself. Under certain assumptions on $\R$, we prove that $\D$ is almost additive. Let $p_n(x_1, x_2, \cdots,…

We extend some fundamental definitions and constructions in the established generalisation of Lie theory involving Lie groupoids by reformulating them in terms of groupoids internal to a well-adapted model of synthetic differential…

We briefly review our results on the Lie theory underlying vector bundles over Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, pointing out the role of Poisson geometry in extending these results to double Lie algebroids and LA-groupoids.

The parallel linear transports defined by flat linear connection are axiomatically described. On this basis a number of properties, some of which are new, of these transports and connections are derived.

We study Legendrian singular links up to contact isotopy. Using a special property of the singular points, we define the singular connected sum of Legendrian singular links. This concept is a generalization of the connected sum and can be…

We propose a definition of a "higher" version of the omni-Lie algebroid and study its isotropic and involutive subbundles. Our higher omni-Lie algebroid is to (multi)contact and related geometries what the higher generalized tangent bundle…

A map $\phi$ on an associative ring is called a multiplicative Lie derivation if $\phi([x,y])=[\phi(x),y]+[x,\phi(y)]$ holds for any elements $x,y$, where $[x,y]=xy-yx$ is the Lie product. In the paper, we discuss the multiplicative Lie…

We define an abstract notion of double Lie algebroid, which includes as particular cases: (1) the double Lie algebroid of a double Lie groupoid in the sense of the author, such as the iterated tangent bundle of an ordinary manifold, and…

Using tools from the theory of Lie groupoids, we study the category of logarithmic flat connections on principal $G$-bundles, where $G$ is a complex reductive structure group. Flat connections on the affine line with a logarithmic…

The paper starts with an interpretation of the complete lift of a Poisson structure from a manifold M to its tangent bundle TM by means of the Schouten- Nijenhuis bracket of covariant symmetric tensor fields defined by the co- tangent Lie…
