Homotopies and automorphisms of crossed modules of groupoids

We give a detailed description of the structure of the actor 2-crossed module related to the automorphisms of a crossed module of groupoids. This generalises work of Brown and Gilbert for the case of crossed modules of groups, and part of this is needed for work on 2-dimensional holonomy to be developed elsewhere (see math.DG/0009082).Comment: 19 pages, A4 size,LaTeX2E,xypic New version December 10, 2001.

Some Results for the Local Subgroupoids

The notion of local subgroupoids as generalition of a local equivalence relations was defined by the first author and R.Brown. Here we investigate some relations between transitive components and coherence properties of the local subgroupoids.Comment: 9 pages, A

Towards a 2-dimensional notion of holonomy

Previous work (Pradines, 1966, Aof and Brown, 1992) has given a setting for a holonomy Lie groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid. Here we develop analogous 2-dimensional notions starting from a locally Lie crossed module of groupoids. This involves replacing the Ehresmann notion of a local smooth coadmissible section of a groupoid by a local smooth coadmissible homotopy (or free derivation) for the crossed module case. The development also has to use corresponding notions for certain types of double groupoids. This leads to a holonomy Lie groupoid rather than double groupoid, but one which involves the 2-dimensional information.Comment: 30 pages, A4, xypic, epic, eepi

Extendibility, monodromy and local triviality for topological groupoids

A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of monodromy groupoid of a topological groupoid generalises those of fundamental groupoid and universal covering. It was earlier proved that the monodromy of a locally sectionable topological groupoid has a topological groupoid structure satisfying some properties. In this paper a similar problem is studied for compatible locally trivial topological groupoids.Comment: 9 pages, A

Holonomy and monodromy groupoids

We outline the construction of the holonomy groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid and the monodromy groupoid of a Lie groupoid. These specialise to the well known holonomy and monodromy groupoids of a foliation, when the groupoid is just an equivalence relation.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX2E, xypic 3-rd Conference Geometry and Topology of Manifolds, Krynica 29.04.2001-5.05.2001 (Poland

Local subgroupoids II: Examples and properties

The notion of local subgroupoid as a generalisation of a local equivalence relation was defined in a previous paper by the first two authors. Here we use the notion of star path connectivity for a Lie groupoid to give an important new class of examples, generalising the local equivalence relation of a foliation, and develop in this new context basic properties of coherence, due earlier to Rosenthal in the special case. These results are required for further applications to holonomy and monodromy.Comment: 18 pages. replacement gives a change to the use of the flat condition for a path connection, and adds a reference on locally Lie groupoid

Sheaves and Local Subgroupoids

This is an introduction to the notion of local subgroupoid introduced by the author and R. Brown. It can also serve as an introduction to an application of sheaf theory, and so could be useful to beginners in that theory. The main results are the construction of the holonomy groupoid and the notion of s-sheaf for certain local subgroupoids s.Comment: 55 pages, one figure, A4 Pape

Topologies and approximation operators induced by binary relations

Rough set theory is an important mathematical tool for dealing with uncertain or vague information. This paper studies some new topologies induced by a binary relation on universe with respect to neighborhood opera- tors. Moreover, the relations among them are studied. In additionally, lower and upper approximations of rough sets using the binary relation with respect to neighborhood operators are studied and examples are given

Coverings and Actions of Structured Lie Groupoids I

In this work we deal with coverings and actions of Lie group- groupoids being a sort of the structured Lie groupoids. Firstly, we define an action of a Lie group-groupoid on some Lie group and the smooth coverings of Lie group-groupoids. Later, we show the equivalence of the category of smooth actions of Lie group-groupoids on Lie groups and the category of smooth cov- erings of Lie group-groupoids. Further, we prove a theorem which denotes how is obtained a covering Lie group-groupoid and a smooth covering morphism of Lie group-groupoids from a Lie group-groupoid.Comment: 14 page
