Abstract: The notion of local subgroupoid as a generalisation of a local equivalence relation was defined in a previous paper by the first two authors. Here we use the notion of star path connectivity for a Lie groupoid to give an important new class of examples, generalising the local equivalence relation of a foliation, and develop in this new context basic properties of coherence, due earlier to Rosenthal in the special case. These results are required for further applications to holonomy and monodromy.

Review text

The paper concerns local subgroupoids defined by \textit{R. Brown} and \textit{I. Içen} in Part I [Topology Appl. 115, 125--138 (2001; Zbl 1006.58016)]. This notion is a generalization of local equivalence relation investigated by \textit{K. I. Rosenthal} [Topology Appl. 13, 167--176 (1982; Zbl 0486.18012), Cah. Topol. Géom. Différ. 25, 179--206 (1984; Zbl 0559.18006)]. A local subgroupoid of a groupoid \(Q\) on a topological space \(X\) is by definition a continuous global section of the sheaf associated to the presheaf of wide subgroupoids \( U\mapsto Q| U\). The authors show that a basic topological groupoid notion ``star path component and the theory of coherence by Rosenthal lead to local subgroupoids of a wide class of Lie groupoids. The generalization requires the condition of the existence of a globally adapted atlas. This is motived by the construction of a locally Lie groupoid from a foliation [\textit{R. Brown} and \textit{O. Mucuk}, Cah. Topol. Géom. Différ. Catég. 37, 61--71 (1996; Zbl 0868.22001); \textit{J. Kubarski}, Suppl. Rend. Circ. Palermo, II. Ser 16, 119--124 (1987; Zbl 0655.57020)]. The key role from the point of view of applications (to the holonomy and monodromy theories) is played by the local subgroupoid \(c_{1}(Q,\mathcal{U})\) defined with the help of star path components \(C_{1}(Q| U)\) of the subgroupoids \(Q| U,\) \(U\in \mathcal{U}\subset Top X,\) where \(\mathcal{U}\) is a path compatible cover of \(X\). Other important examples of local subgroupoids are the ones coming from path connections.
