  • Lectures on Integrability of Lie Brackets
    Geometry & Topology Monographs 17 (2011) 1–107 1 Lectures on integrability of Lie brackets MARIUS CRAINIC RUI LOJA FERNANDES These lectures discuss the problem of integrating infinitesimal geometric structures to global geometric structures. 22A22, 53D17, 58H05 Preface The subject of these lecture notes is the problem of integrating infinitesimal geometric structures to global geometric structures. We follow the categorical approach to differ- ential geometry, where the infinitesimal geometric structures are called Lie algebroids and the global geometric structures are called Lie groupoids. It is also one of our aims to convince you of the advantages of this approach. You may not be familiar with the language of Lie algebroids or Lie groupoids, but you have already seen several instances of the integrability problem. For example, the problem of integrating a vector field to a flow, the problem of integrating an involutive distribution to a foliation, the problem of integrating a Lie algebra to a Lie group or the problem of integrating a Lie algebra action to a Lie group action. In all these special cases, the integrability problem always has a solution. However, in general, this need not be the case and this new aspect of the problem, the obstructions to integrability, is one of the main topics of these notes. One such example, that you may have seen before, is the problem of geometric quantization of a presymplectic manifold, where the so-called prequantization condition appears. These notes are made up of five lectures. In Lecture 1, we introduce Lie groupoids and their infinitesimal versions. In Lecture 2, we introduce the abstract notion of a Lie algebroid and explain how many notions of differential geometry can be described in this language.

In particular, using contact groupoids, we prove a Kostant-type theorem on the prequantization of symplectic groupoids, which answers a question posed by We- instein and Xu. The methods used are those of Crainic-Fernandes on A-paths and monodromy group(oid)s of algebroids. In particular, most of the results we obtain are valid also in the non-integrable case.

  • An Outline of Algebraic Set Theory
    An Outline of Algebraic Set Theory Steve Awodey Dedicated to Saunders Mac Lane, 1909–2005 Abstract This survey article is intended to introduce the reader to the field of Algebraic Set Theory, in which models of set theory of a new and fascinating kind are determined algebraically. The method is quite robust, admitting adjustment in several respects to model different theories including classical, intuitionistic, bounded, and predicative ones. Under this scheme some familiar set theoretic properties are related to algebraic ones, like freeness, while others result from logical constraints, like definability. The overall theory is complete in two important respects: conventional elementary set theory axiomatizes the class of algebraic models, and the axioms provided for the abstract algebraic framework itself are also complete with respect to a range of natural models consisting of “ideals” of sets, suitably defined. Some previous results involving realizability, forcing, and sheaf models are subsumed, and the prospects for further such unification seem bright. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 The category of classes 10 2.1 Smallmaps ............................ 12 2.2 Powerclasses............................ 14 2.3 UniversesandInfinity . 15 2.4 Classcategories .......................... 16 2.5 Thetoposofsets ......................... 17 3 Algebraic models of set theory 18 3.1 ThesettheoryBIST ....................... 18 3.2 Algebraic soundness of BIST . 20 3.3 Algebraic completeness of BIST . 21 4 Classes as ideals of sets 23 4.1 Smallmapsandideals . .. .. 24 4.2 Powerclasses and universes . 26 4.3 Conservativity........................... 29 5 Ideal models 29 5.1 Freealgebras ........................... 29 5.2 Collection ............................. 30 5.3 Idealcompleteness . .. .. 32 6 Variations 33 References 36 2 1 Introduction Algebraic set theory (AST) is a new approach to the construction of models of set theory, invented by Andr´eJoyal and Ieke Moerdijk and first presented in [16].

We show that the integrability problem is controlled by two computable obstructions. As ap- plications we derive, explain and improve the known integrability results, we establish integrability by local Lie groupoids, we clarify the smoothness of the Poisson sigma-model for Poisson manifolds, and we describe other geometrical applications.

  • Chern Characters Via Connections up to Homotopy
    Chern characters via connections up to homotopy ∗ Marius Crainic Department of Mathematics, Utrecht University, The Netherlands 1 Introduction: The aim of this note is to point out that Chern characters can be com- puted using curvatures of “connections up to homotopy”, and to present an application to the vanishing theorem for Lie algebroids. Classically, Chern characters are computed with the help of a connection and its cur- vature. However, one often has to relax the notion of connection so that one gains more freedom in representing these characteristic classes by differential forms. A well known ex- ample is Quillen’s notion of super-connection [8]. Here we remark that one can weaken the notion of (super-)connections even further, to what we call “up to homotopy”. Our interest on this type of connections comes from the theory of characteristic classes of Lie algebroids [2, 5] (hence, in particular of Poisson manifolds [6]). From our point of view, the intrinsic characteristic classes are secondary classes which arise from a vanishing result: the Chern classes of the adjoint representation vanish (compare to Bott’s approach to char- acteristic classes for foliations). We have sketched a proof of this in [2] for a particular class of Lie algebroids (the so called regular ones). The problem is that the adjoint representation is a representation up to homotopy only [4]. For the general setting, we have to show that Chern classes can be computed using connections up to homotopy. Since we believe that this result might be of larger interest, we have chosen to present it at the level vector bundles over manifolds.

Foliation groupoids and their cyclic homology∗ Marius Crainic and Ieke Moerdijk Department of Mathematics, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Introduction The purpose of this paper is to prove two theorems which concern the position of ´etale groupoids among general smooth (or “Lie”) groupoids. Our motivation comes from the non-commutative geometry and algebraic topology concerning leaf spaces of foliations. Here, one is concerned with invariants of the holonomy groupoid of a foliation [4, 34], such as the cohomology of its classifying space [14], the cyclic homology of its smooth convolution algebra [2, 7], or the K-theory of the C∗-convolution algebras. Many results here depend on the fact that such a holonomy groupoid can be “reduced” to what is called a complete transversal of the foliation, giving rise to an equivalent ´etale groupoid. For ´etale groupoids (sometimes called r-discrete groupoids in the literature [30, 33]), the cyclic homology, sheaf theory and classifying spaces are each well understood, as is the relation between these. Our first theorem provides a criterion for determining whether a given Lie groupoid is equivalent to an ´etale one.

  • Normal Forms for Poisson Maps and Symplectic Groupoids Around Poisson Transversals
    Lett Math Phys DOI 10.1007/s11005-017-1007-2 Normal forms for Poisson maps and symplectic groupoids around Poisson transversals 1 2 Pedro Frejlich · Ioan M˘arcut, Received: 31 January 2017 / Revised: 19 September 2017 / Accepted: 19 September 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Poisson transversals are submanifolds in a Poisson manifold which intersect all symplectic leaves transversally and symplectically. In this communication, we prove a normal form theorem for Poisson maps around Poisson transversals. A Poisson map pulls a Poisson transversal back to a Poisson transversal, and our first main result states that simultaneous normal forms exist around such transversals, for which the Poisson map becomes transversally linear, and intertwines the normal form data of the transversals. Our second result concerns symplectic integrations. We prove that a neighborhood of a Poisson transversal is integrable exactly when the Poisson transversal itself is integrable, and in that case we prove a normal form theorem for the symplectic groupoid around its restriction to the Poisson transversal, which puts all structure maps in normal form. We conclude by illustrating our results with examples arising from Lie algebras.
