Example of a groupoid internal to the category of smooth manifolds that is not a Lie groupoid
This questions is about the distinction between:
Lie groupoids: we require source and target maps to be submersions. This implies that the domain of the composition map, $G_1 \;{}_s\!\times_t G_1$, ...

Representation of Groupoids
The title is vague, my actuall question is the following:
Has the representations of groupoids been systematically studied? Is there any new phenomenon, compare with the representation of groups? (...

Algebraic stacks as (étale) groupoid algebraic spaces/schemes
Assume given an algebraic stack(*) $\mathcal{X}$ with presentation $X_0 \to \mathcal{X}$, and the corresponding groupoid $X = (X_0\times_\mathcal{X} X_0 \rightrightarrows X_0)$ in algebraic spaces (or ...

Is there a "geometric" language that describes the equivalence groupoid of a foliated manifold?
Sitting on the couch in my office is a certain groupoid. It's waiting for me to say something to it. My problem is that I don't know its language. My question here is for some suggestions.
Here, ...

Compact groupoid presentations for closed 2-orbifolds (or finite graphs of finite groups)?
A result of Noohi says that if $\mathsf{X}$ and $\mathsf{Y}$ are topological stacks and $\mathsf{Y}$ admits a groupoid presentation $\mathcal{G}$ in which both $\mathcal{G}_0$ and $\mathcal{G}_1$ are ...

Is there a Geometric/Smooth version of Homotopy Hypothesis using the path $\infty$-Groupoid of a Smooth Space?
A version of Homotopy Hypothesis says that the Fundamental $n$-grupoids model Homotopy $n$-types... and if we continue upto $\infty$, then the Fundamental $\infty$- groupoids or Kan Complexes model ...

What are the Newton groupoids from Drinfeld's paper on the Grinberg-Kazhdan theorem?
The paper the Grinberg-Kazhdan formal arc theorem and the Newton groupoids by Drinfeld seems to contain many interesting things which are beyond me. For now, I am trying to get some intuition for the ...

Is the cotangent complexes of groupoids bounded above by degree $1$?
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a stack given by a groupoid $X_1\rightrightarrows X_0$, where $X_0$ and $X_1$ are smooth $k$-varieties. Let $\mathbb{L}_{\mathcal{X}/k}$ be the cotangent complex of $\mathcal{X}$....

Automorphism groups and etale topological stacks
Recall that an etale topological stack is a stack $\mathscr{X}$ over the category of topological spaces (and open covers) which admits a representable local homeomorphism $X \to \mathscr{X}$ from a ...

Gluing together together differentiable stacks
I am trying to figure out the conditions under which you can glue together a collection of (differentiable) stacks by equivalences, and get a differentiable stack.
More precisely, I have a collection ...

Representable torsors on geometric groupoid
Let $(C,\tau,\mathbb P)$ be a geometric context, as defined by Toen and Vezzosi. Let $(X_1\rightrightarrows X_0)$ be a groupoid object in $C$ such that the source and target morphisms are in $\mathbb ...

Groupoid as a 2-coequaliser
Let $G=(G_1, G_0, s, t, u, i,\circ)$ be a groupoid, where $s, t$ are source and target maps, $i$ is the inverse, $u$ is the unit, and $\circ$ is the composition.
Denote $\underline{G_1}, \underline{...

How to specify a finite group up to inner automorphism?
I want some finite set of data to which I can canoically associate a "group up to inner automorphism", and which can be constructed canoically from a "group up to inner automorphism". I have a few ...

Weak colimits of weak and strict presheaves in groupoids
Let $C$ be a small category, and for this question, let groupoid mean an (essentially small) groupoid. There are two 2-categories in question: the 2-category of strict presheaves in groupoids and ...

What condition on a "bibundle between categories" generalizes "right-principal bibundle between groupoids"?
My question is long on background and motivation, and almost but not quite answered over at the nLab. I'll write up a bunch before asking my question (feel free to skip to the end or look at the ...

Double Category of Topological Stacks
There are two equivalent ways of describing topological stacks.
One is the "stacky" definition, that is, a topological stack is a stack $\mathbb{X}$ on $Top$ (a Grothendieck universe thereof, if you'...

What is the local structure of a Lie groupoid?
A manifold is locally $\mathbb R^n$. An orbifold is locally $\mathbb R^n/\{\text{finite group}\}$. Is there a similar way to think about the local structure of a Lie groupoid $G_1 \rightrightarrows ...
