This work is a spin-off of an on-going programme which aims at revisiting the original studies of Lie and Cartan on pseudogroups and geometric structures from a modern perspective. We encode geometric structures induced by transitive Lie…
We introduce a new notion of Morita equivalence for diffeological groupoids, generalising the original notion for Lie groupoids. For this we develop a theory of diffeological groupoid actions, -bundles and -bibundles. We define a notion of…
We take advantage of the correspondence between pseudogroups and inverse quantal frames, and of the recent description of Morita equivalence for inverse quantal frames in terms of biprincipal bisheaves, to define Morita equivalence for…
These notes discuss various aspect of the ``representation theory'' of Poisson manifolds, with focus on Morita equivalence and Picard groups. We give a brief introduction to Poisson geometry (including Dirac and twisted Poisson structures)…
A Lie groupoid can be thought of as a generalization of a Lie group in which the multiplication is only defined for certain pairs of elements. From another perspective, Lie groupoids can be regarded as manifolds endowed with a type of…
An arbitrary Lie groupoid gives rise to a groupoid of germs of local diffeomorphisms over its base manifold, known as its effect. The effect of any bundle of Lie groups is trivial. All quotients of a given Lie groupoid determine the same…
By combining the ideas of Cartan's equivalence method and the method of the equivariant moving frame for pseudo-groups, we develop an efficient method for solving equivalence problems arising from horizontal Lie pseudo-group actions. The…
Relative algebroids and Pfaffian fibrations are two frameworks recently developed to study geometric structures and PDEs with symmetries, but have structurally different foundations. In this article, we clarify the relation between the two.…
We consider the localisation of the 2-category of diffeological groupoids at weak equivalences from the perspective of anafunctors, and with this language, prove that the localisation of the 2-category of Lie groupoids is an essentially…
In this article we review recent developments on Morita equivalence of star products and their Picard groups. We point out the relations between noncommutative field theories and deformed vector bundles which give the Morita equivalence…
Starting with some motivating examples (classical atlases for a manifold, space of leaves of a foliation, group orbits), we propose to view a Lie groupoid as a generalized atlas for the "virtual structure" of its orbit space, the…
We study (pre-)sheaves in bicategories on geometric categories: smooth manifolds, manifolds with a Lie group action and Lie groupoids. We present three main results: we describe equivariant descent, we generalize the plus construction to…
In a recent article of Kenny De Commer, was investigated a Morita equivalence between locally compact quantum groups, in which a measured quantum groupoid, of basis $\mathbb{C}^2$, was constructed as a linking object. Here, we generalize…
We study gauge transformations of Dirac structures and the relationship between gauge and Morita equivalences of Poisson manifolds. We describe how the symplectic structure of a symplectic groupoid is affected by a gauge transformation of…
Taking advantage of the quantale-theoretic description of \'etale groupoids we study principal bundles, Hilsum-Skandalis maps, and Morita equivalence in terms of modules on inverse quantal frames. The Hilbert module description of quantale…
This paper is about the relation of the geometry of Lie groupoids over a fixed compact manifold and the geometry of their (infinite-dimensional) bisection Lie groups. In the first part of the paper we investigate the relation of the…
This thesis is about the study of Lie groupoids endowed with a compatible (multiplicative) differential 1-form. The motivation and scope of the present work is to study the geometry of PDEs using the formalism of Lie groupoids and…
We study vector bundles over Lie groupoids, known as VB-groupoids, and their induced geometric objects over differentiable stacks. We establish a fundamental theorem that characterizes VB-Morita maps in terms of fiber and basic data, and…
We present a modern formulation of \'Elie Cartan's structure theory for Lie pseudogroups and prove a reduction theorem that clarifies the role of Cartan's systatic system. The paper is divided into three parts. In part one, using notions…
This paper is concerned with symmetries of closed multiplicative 2-forms on Lie groupoids and their infinitesimal counterparts. We use them to study Lie group actions on Dirac manifolds by Dirac diffeomorphisms and their lifts to…
