This is a survey paper based on my talk at the Workshop on Orbifolds and String Theory, the goal of which was to explain the role of groupoids and their classifying spaces as a foundation for the theory of orbifolds.
Diffeology extends differential geometry to spaces beyond smooth manifolds. This paper explores diffeology's key features and illustrates its utility with examples including singular and quotient spaces, and applications in symplectic…
We present an overview of some recent developments in the theory of generalized formal series, grounded in diffeological geometric framework. These constructions aim to offer new tools for understanding infinite-dimensional phenomena in…
The aim of this paper is to explain, mostly through examples, what groupoids are and how they describe symmetry. We will begin with elementary examples, with discrete symmetry, and end with examples in the differentiable setting which…
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…
This is a concise introduction to the theory of Lie groupoids, with emphasis in their role as models for stacks. After some preliminaries, we review the foundations on Lie groupoids, and we carefully study equivalences and proper groupoids.…
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…
Diffeological and differential spaces are generalisations of smooth structures on manifolds. We show that the "intersection" of these two categories is isomorphic to Fr\"olicher spaces, another generalisation of smooth structures. We then…
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic exposition of the main results obtained in the studies carried out in groupoid theory. Key words and phrases: groupoid, topological groupoid, Lie groupoid, group-groupoid, vector…
The purpose of this thesis is to use the language of orbifold groupoids to describe the geometry and topology of orbifolds, highlighting advantages and disadvantages of this language as they arise.
The main purpose of this paper is to give a new definition for the notion of group-groupoid. Also, several basic properties of group-groupoids are established.
In this paper, we give an accessible introduction to the theory of orbispaces via groupoids. We define a certain class of topological groupoids, which we call orbigroupoids. Each orbigroupoid represents an orbispace, but just as with…
Lie groupoids and their associated algebroids arise naturally in the study of the constitutive properties of continuous media. Thus, Continuum Mechanics and Differential Geometry illuminate each other in a mutual entanglement of theory and…
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…
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…
We establish an integration theory for singular subalgebroids, by diffeological groupoids. To do so, we single out a class of diffeological groupoids satisfying specific properties, and we introduce a differentiation-integration procedure…
These notes are an introduction to symplectic groupoids and the double structures associated with them. The treatment is intended to lie about midway between the original account of Coste, Dazord and Weinstein, which relied on effective use…
The aim of this review paper is to explain the relevance of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids to both physicists and noncommutative geometers. Groupoids generalize groups, spaces, group actions, and equivalence relations. This last aspect…
A smooth manifold hosts different types of submanifolds, including embedded, weakly-embedded, and immersed submanifolds. The notion of an immersed submanifold requires additional structure (namely, the choice of a topology); when this…
When the theory of Leavitt path algebras was already quite advanced, it was discovered that some of the more difficult questions were susceptible to a new approach using topological groupoids. The main result that makes this possible is…
