Differentiating Higher Lie Groupoids and Generalized van Est Theory

This lecture by Alejandro Cabrera from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro explores the mathematical concepts of differentiating higher Lie groupoids and presents a generalized van Est theory. Delve into advanced geometric structures as part of the Fields Institute's geostructures series scheduled for Monday, May 5, 2025. Learn about the theoretical foundations and applications of these complex mathematical concepts through a comprehensive presentation that bridges differential geometry and higher category theory.
