The Muhly–Renault–Williams theorem for Lie groupoids and its classical counterpart
نویسنده
چکیده
A theorem of Muhly–Renault–Williams states that if two locally compact groupoids with Haar system are Morita equivalent, then their associated convolution C-algebras are strongly Morita equivalent. We give a new proof of this theorem for Lie groupoids. Subsequently, we prove a counterpart of this theorem in Poisson geometry: If two Morita equivalent Lie groupoids are s-connected and s-simply connected, then their associated Poisson manifolds (viz. the dual bundles to their Lie algebroids) are Morita equivalent in the sense of P. Xu.

Functoriality and Morita Equivalence of C * -algebras and Poisson Manifolds Associated to Lie Groupoids
It is well known that a Lie groupoid G canonically defines both a C *-algebra C * (G) and a Poisson manifold A * (G). We show that the maps G → C * (G) and G → A * (G) are functorial with respect to suitably defined categories. The arrows (Hom-spaces) between Lie groupoids are taken to be isomorphism classes of regular bibundles (Hilsum–Skandalis maps), composed by a canonical bibundle tensor p...
متن کاملConnected Lie Groupoids are Internally Connected and Integral Complete in Synthetic Differential Geometry
We extend some fundamental definitions and constructions in the established generalisation of Lie theory involving Lie groupoids by reformulating them in terms of groupoids internal to a well-adapted model of synthetic differential geometry. In particular we define internal counterparts of the definitions of source path and source simply connected groupoid and the integration of A-paths. The ma...
متن کاملLie Groupoids and Lie algebroids in physics and noncommutative geometry
Groupoids generalize groups, spaces, group actions, and equivalence relations. This last aspect dominates in noncommutative geometry, where groupoids provide the basic tool to desingularize pathological quotient spaces. In physics, however, the main role of groupoids is to provide a unified description of internal and external symmetries. What is shared by noncommutative geometry and physics is...
متن کاملOn Symplectic and Contact Groupoids
This paper deals with Lie groupoids, in particular symplectic and contact groupoids. We formulate a deenition of contact groupoids; we give examples and a counterexample (groupoid with a contact form which is not a contact groupoid). The theory of diierentiable groupoids (called now Lie groupoids) has been introduced by C. Ehresmann E] in 1950 in his paper on connections (where he deened the gr...
متن کاملRiemannian metrics on Lie groupoids
We introduce a notion of metric on a Lie groupoid, compatible with multiplication, and we study its properties. We show that many families of Lie groupoids admit such metrics, including the important class of proper Lie groupoids. The exponential map of these metrics allows us to establish a linearization theorem for Riemannian groupoids, obtaining both a simpler proof and a stronger version of...
