Abstract: We develop the theory of multiplicative Ehresmann connections for Lie groupoid submersions covering the identity, as well as their infinitesimal counterparts. We construct obstructions to the existence of such connections, and we prove existence for several interesting classes of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, including all proper Lie groupoids. We show that many notions from the theory of principal bundle connections have analogues in this general setup, including connections 1-forms, curvature 2-forms, Bianchi identity, etc. In [17] we provide a non-trivial application of the results obtained here to construct local models in Poisson geometry and to obtain linearization results around Poisson submanifolds.

Review text

The authors extend the theory of multiplicative Ehressmann connections to general submersions of Lie groupoids covering the identity. Unlike the case of locally trivial Lie groupoids, connections as such do not always exist in the general case. The authors give the obstructions for their existence and show that a properness assumption ensures their existence. The standard apects of connection theory (connection 1-forms, curvature, Bianchi identity, holonomy) are developed thoroughly. From the abstract: ``In [``Poisson geometry around Poisson submanifolds, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2205.11457}] we provide a non-trivial application of the results obtained here, to obtain local models in Poisson geometry and to obtain linearization results around Poisson submanifolds.
