Graded bundles in the category of Lie groupoids (Q903689)

This paper is a study of Lie groupoids equipped with a compatible homogeneity structure. The theory of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids plays an increasing role in the literature and is not as easy as the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. In this work, the authors first recall the relevant parts of the theory of graded bundles. The weighted Lie groupoids are then introduced and the weighted Lie theory is developed. The results are then applied to weighted Poisson-Lie groups, Lie bi-algebroids and Courant algebroids.
