Integration of Lie 2-algebras and their morphisms (Q1928838): Difference between revisions

Recently people have paid much attention to the integration of Lie-algebra-like structures, such as of Lie algebroids, of \(L_\infty\)-algebras and of Courant algebroids. Here integration is meant in the same sense in which a Lie algebra is integrated to its Lie group. Given a strict Lie 2-algebra, one integrates it to a strict Lie 2-group by integrating the corresponding Lie algebra crossed module. On the other hand the integration procedure of Getzler and Henriques will also produce a 2-group. In this paper, it is shown that these two integration results are Morita equivalent. As an application, the authors integrate a non-strict morphism between Lie algebra crossed modules to a generalized morphism between their corresponding Lie group crossed modules.
