On local integration of Lie brackets (Q2303074)

This paper constructs explicitely a local Lie groupoid integrating a given Lie algebroid which only depends on the choice of a spray vector field lifting the underlying anchor map. It is not entirely true that Lie algebroids are to Lie groupoids as Lie algebras are related to Lie groups. The authors prove that locally it is true. More precisely, they prove that the category of germs of local Lie groupoids is equivalent to that of Lie algebroids.
