Abstract: A proper etale Lie groupoid is modelled as a (noncommutative) spectral geometric space. The spectral triple is built on the algebra of smooth functions on the groupoid base which are invariant under the groupoid action. Stiefel-Whitney classes in Lie groupoid cohomology are introduced to measure the orientability of the tangent bundle and the obstruction to lift the tangent bundle to a spinor bundle. In the case of an orientable and spin Lie groupoid, an invariant spinor bundle and an invariant Dirac operator will be constructed. This data gives rise to a spectral triple. The algebraic orientability axiom in noncommutative geometry is reformulated to make it compatible with the geometric model.

Review text

This paper is a step towards a unification of Lie groupoid theory and noncommutative spectral geometry. The author concentrates on the proper etale Lie groupoids. Stifle Whitney classes in Lie groupoid cohomology are introduced. An invariant spinor bundle and an invariant Dirac operator are constructed. The author then reformulates the algebraic orientation so that the new orientation captures the geometric orientation of a Lie groupoid. An extension for the spectral geometric model is also developed.
