Integrability of Jacobi and Poisson structures

Marius CrainicChenchang Zhu — 2007

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We discuss the integrability of Jacobi manifolds by contact groupoids, and then look at what the Jacobi point of view brings new into Poisson geometry. In particular, using contact groupoids, we prove a Kostant-type theorem on the prequantization of symplectic groupoids, which answers a question posed by Weinstein and Xu. The methods used are those of Crainic-Fernandes on A -paths and monodromy group(oid)s of algebroids. In particular, most of the results we obtain are valid also in the non-integrable...

Integrating central extensions of Lie algebras via Lie 2-groups

Christoph WockelChenchang Zhu — 2016

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of étale Lie 2-groups in the sense of [Get09, Hen08]. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of Lie groups, a fact which is due to the vanishing of π 2 for each finite-dimensional Lie group. This fact was used by Cartan (in a slightly other guise) to construct the simply connected Lie group associated to each finite-dimensional...
