摘要
We study non-abelian differentiable gerbes over stacks using the theory of Lie groupoids. More precisely, we develop the theory of connections on Lie groupoid -extensions, which we call "connections on gerbes", and study the induced connections on various associated bundles. We also prove analogues of the Bianchi identities. In particular, we develop a cohomology theory which measures the existence of connections and curvings for -gerbes over stacks. We also introduce -central extensions of groupoids, generalizing the standard groupoid -central extensions. As an example, we apply our theory to study the differential geometry of -gerbes over a manifold.
