Abstract: We define stacky Lie groups to be group objects in the 2-category of differentiable stacks. We show that every connected and etale stacky Lie group is equivalent to a crossed module of the form (H,G) where H is the fundamental group of the given stacky Lie group and G is the connected and simply connected Lie group integrating the Lie algebra of the stacky group. Our result is closely related to a strictification result of Baez and Lauda.

Review text

A stacky Lie group, also called a Lie \(2\)-group, is a concept in higher group theory. Various definitions have been proposed. In this paper a stacky Lie group is defined to be a group object in the \(2\)-category of differentiable stacks; this is the same as a Lie \(2\)-group obtained from a Kan complex. The main result says that every connected and étale stacky Lie group is equivalent to a crossed module \((\Gamma,G)\), where \(\Gamma\) is the fundamental group and where \(G\)~is a connected and simply connected Lie group.
