      For a finitely generated discrete group \(\Gamma\), the \(\Gamma\)-sectors of an orbifold \(Q\) are a disjoint union of orbifolds corresponding to homomorphisms from \(\Gamma\) into a groupoid presenting \(Q\). The authors show that the inertia orbifold and \(k\)-multisectors are special cases of the \(\Gamma\)-sectors, and that the \(\Gamma\)-sectors are orbifold covers of Leida's fixed point sectors. They also show that, in the case of a global quotient, the \(\Gamma\)-sectors correspond to orbifolds considered by other authors for global quotient orbifolds, as well as their direct generalization to the case of an orbifold given by a quotient of a Lie group. Furthermore, they develop a model for the \(\Gamma\)-sectors corresponding to a generalized loop space.
