A foliation on a manifold M can be informally thought of as a partition of M into injectively immersed submanifolds, called leaves. In this thesis we study foliations whose leaves carry some specific geometric structures. The thesis…

We consider all connected and simply connected 7-dimensional Lie groups whose Lie algebras have nilradical $\g_{5,2} = \s \{X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5 \colon [X_1, X_2] = X_4, [X_1, X_3] = X_5\}$ of Dixmier. First, we give a geometric…

We introduce the holonomy of a singular leaf $L$ of a singular foliation as a sequence of group morphisms from $\pi_n(L)$ to the $\pi_{n-1}$ of the universal Lie $\infty$-algebroid of the transverse foliation of $L$. We include these…

Let $G$ be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. Let $K$ be a semisimple and normal subgroup of $G$ generating a left-invariant conformal foliation $\F$ of on $G$. We then show that the foliation $\F$ is Riemannian…

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.…

This thesis treats two main topics: calibrated symplectic foliations, and local Lie groupoids. Calibrated symplectic foliations are one possible generalization of taut foliations of 3-manifolds to higher dimensions. Their study has been…

We study Lie foliations on compact manifolds, in case the Lie group is compact. Our main results improve Tischler classical result on the existence of fibration and, as an application, we study the case the manifold has an amenable…

We give a new construction of the holonomy and fundamental groupoids of a singular foliation. In contrast with the existing construction of Androulidakis and Skandalis, our method proceeds by taking a quotient of an infinite dimensional…

We study left-invariant foliations $\mathcal{F}$ on Riemannian Lie groups $G$ generated by a subgroup $K$. We are interested in such foliations which are conformal and with minimal leaves of codimension two. We classify such foliations…

We discuss two generalizations of Lie groupoids. One consists of Lie $n$-groupoids defined as simplicial manifolds with trivial $\pi_{k\geq n+1}$. The other consists of stacky Lie groupoids $\cG\rra M$ with $\cG$ a differentiable stack. We…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers and $S(d)$ the scheme parametrizing $d$-dimensional Lie subalgebras of $H^0(X,\mathcal{T} X)$. This article is dedicated to the study of the geometry of the moduli space…

It is well-known that reduced smooth orbifolds and proper effective foliation Lie groupoids form equivalent categories. However, for certain recent lines of research, equivalence of categories is not sufficient. We propose a notion of maps…

The main purpose of these lecture notes is to provide a concise introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and isometric and adjoint actions, aiming mostly at advanced undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, the connection between…

In these lectures notes I discuss the Linearization Theorem for Lie groupoids, and its relation to the various classical linearization theorems for submersions, foliations and group actions. In particular, I explain in some detail the…

As we said in our previous work [4], the main idea of our research is to introduce a class of Lie groupoids by means of co-adjoint representation of a Lie groupoid on its isotropy Lie algebroid, which we called coadjoint Lie groupoids. In…

Given a morphism of (small) groupoids with injective object map, we provide sufficient and necessary conditions under which the induction and co-induction functors between the categories of linear representations are naturally isomorphic. A…

We introduce the basic notions and present examples and results on Lie categories -- categories internal to the category of smooth manifolds. Demonstrating how the units of a Lie category $\mathcal C$ dictate the behavior of its invertible…

Hausdorff Morita equivalence is an equivalence relation on singular foliations, which induces a bijection between their leaves. Our main statement is that linearizability along a leaf is invariant under Hausdorff Morita equivalence. The…

In this paper we find smooth embeddings of solenoids in smooth foliations. We show that if a smooth foliation F of a manifold M contains a compact leaf L with H^1(L;R)= 0 and if the foliation is a product foliation in some saturated open…

In previous work by El Kacimi Alaoui-Guasp-Nicolau, a cohomological criterion is given for a Lie $\mathfrak{g}$-foliation on a compact manifold to be rigid among nearby Lie foliations. Our aim is to look for examples of this rigidity…
