Abstract

In this work we introduce the category of multiplicative sections of an LA-groupoid. We prove that this category carries a natural strict Lie 2-algebra structure, which is Morita invariant. As applications, we study the algebraic structure underlying multiplicative vector fields on a Lie groupoid and in particular vector fields on differentiable stacks. We also introduce the notion of geometric vector field on the quotient stack of a Lie groupoid, showing that the space of such vector fields is a Lie algebra. We describe the Lie algebra of geometric vector fields in several cases, including classifying stacks, quotient stacks of regular Lie groupoids and in particular orbifolds, and foliation groupoids.
