Polynomial evaluation groupoids and their groups

In this paper, we show how certain metabelian groups can be found within polynomial evaluation groupoids. We show that every finite abelian group can beobtained as a polynomial evaluation groupoid.

Q-groupoids and Their Cohomology

We approach Mackenzie’s LA-groupoids from a supergeometric point of view by introducing Q-groupoids. A Q-groupoid is a groupoid object in the category of Q-manifolds, and there is a faithful functor from the category of LA-groupoids to the category of Q-groupoids. Using this approach, we associate to every LA-groupoid a double complex whose cohomology simultaneously generalizes Lie groupoid coh...

Pregroupoids and their enveloping groupoids

We prove that the forgetful functor from groupoids to pregroupoids has a left adjoint, with the front adjunction injective. Thus we get an enveloping groupoid for any pregroupoid. We prove that the category of torsors is equivalent to that of pregroupoids. Hence we also get enveloping groupoids for torsors, and for principal fibre bundles.

Pseudogroups and Their Étale Groupoids

A pseudogroup is a complete infinitely distributive inverse monoid. Such inverse monoids bear the same relationship to classical pseudogroups of transformations as frames do to topological spaces. The goal of this paper is to develop the theory of pseudogroups motivated by applications to group theory, C∗-algebras and aperiodic tilings. Our starting point is an adjunction between a category of ...

SGF-Quantales and their groupoids

Étale groupoids and their quantales

We establish a close and previously unknown relation between quantales and groupoids, in terms of which the notion of étale groupoid is subsumed in a natural way by that of quantale. In particular, to each étale groupoid, either localic or topological, there is associated a unital involutive quantale. We obtain a bijective correspondence between localic étale groupoids and their quantales, whic...
