Gauge groupoid of Lorentz group & complexification
I'm learning about Lie groupoids and was inspired (by Mackenzie's book) to consider the following problem.
Consider first a principal bundle $P\xrightarrow G M$; we can construct the quotient manifold

Construction of the Lie functor: left vs. right invariant vector fields on Lie groups and Lie groupoids
When constructing the Lie algebra $L(G)$ of a Lie group $G$, one usually uses the identification of the tangent space $T_1 G$ with left invariant vector fields $\mathcal{V}^l(G)$ to construct the Lie ...
