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…

We introduce multiplicative differential forms on Lie groupoids with values in VB-groupoids. Our main result gives a complete description of these objects in terms of infinitesimal data. By considering split VB-groupoids, we are able to…

In this article we develop a unified framework for proving Morita invariance of cohomology theories associated to Lie groupoids. Our approach is to view these cohomology theories as arising from sheaves of modules on the nerve of the…

In this paper we study the Lie groupoids which appear in foliation theory. A foliation groupoid is a Lie groupoid which integrates a foliation, or, equivalently, whose anchor map is injective. The first theorem shows that, for a Lie…

Using Morita type stratifications, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between geometric vector fields on a separated differentiable stack and stratified vector fields on its orbit space. This correspondence enables us to derive a…

We study the behavior of the modular class of a Lie algebroid under general Lie algebroid morphisms by introducing the relative modular class. We investigate the modular classes of pull-back morphisms and of base-preserving morphisms…

As a higher dimensional version of the theory of Morse functions, there have been various studies of smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps. As fundamental results, in these studies, they have found that inverse images of such maps…

In this paper, we show that there is a close relationship between generalized subtangent manifolds and Lie groupoids. We obtain equivalent assertions among the integrability conditions of generalized almost subtangent manifolds, the…

In this article we study the normal bundle and the deformation to the normal cone functors to get deformation Lie groupoids that allow us to construct pushforward maps in any suitable (co)homology theory for Lie groupoids (not only…

We show that the complete bornological convolution algebras of Lie groupoids and convolution bimodules of groupoid bibundles define a monoidal functor from the 2-category of differentiable stacks to the Morita 2-category of complete…

We introduce Morita equivalence for Nijenhuis groupoids and for their infinitesimal counterparts, establishing a global-to-infinitesimal correspondence under the Lie functor. A special case is that of holomorphic Lie groupoids and…

For any topological groupoid G and any homomorphism from a locally compact Hausdorff topological group K to G, we construct an associated monodromy group. We prove that Morita equivalent topological groupoids have the same monodromy groups.…

We generalize the van Est map and isomorphism theorem in three ways, and we discuss conjectured connections with homotopy theory, including a proposal of a category which unifies differentiable stacks, Lie algebroids and homotopy theory. In…

We present a way of constructing and deforming diffeomorphisms of manifolds endowed with a Lie group action. This is applied to the study of exotic diffeomorphisms and involutions of spheres and to the equivariant homotopy of Lie groups.

We develop a theory of $\times$-homotopy, fundamental groupoids and covering spaces that apply to non-simple graphs, generalizing existing results for simple graphs. We prove that $\times$-homotopies from finite graphs can be decomposed…

A topological groupoid G is K-pointed, if it is equipped with a homomorphism from a topological group K to G. We describe the homotopy groups of such K-pointed topological groupoids and relate these groups to the ordinary homotopy groups in…

This paper identifies the homotopy theories of topological stacks and orbispaces with unstable global homotopy theory. At the same time, we provide a new perspective by interpreting it as the homotopy theory of `spaces with an action of the…

Some sorts of generalized morphisms are defined from very basic mathematical objects such as sets, functions, and partial functions. A wide range of mathematical notions such as continuous functions between topological spaces, ring…

The notion of local equivalence relation on a topological space is generalised to that of local subgroupoid. The main result is the construction of the holonomy and monodromy groupoids of certain Lie local subgroupoids, and the formulation…

We describe the relation of $r$-similarity and finite-order invariants on the homotopy set $[S^1,Y]=\pi_1(Y)$.
