Differential forms with values in VB-groupoids and its Morita invariance (Q1757060)

The authors introduce the notion of multiplicative differential forms on Lie groupoids with values in VB-groupoids (that is, roughly, vector bundles in the category of Lie groupoids). The authors establish two main results. First they provide a purely infinitesimal description of multiplicative differential forms. Second, they describe a cohomology theory for such differential forms and they prove to be Morita invariant.
