The volume of a differentiable stack
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We extend the notion of the cardinality of a discrete groupoid (equal to the Euler characteristic of the corresponding discrete orbifold) to the setting of Lie groupoids. Since this quantity is an invariant under equivalence of groupoids, we call it the volume of the associated stack rather than of the groupoid itself. Since there is no natural measure in the smooth case like the counting measure in the discrete case, we need extra data to define the volume. This data has the form of an invariant section of a natural line bundle over the groupoid. Sections of a square root of this line bundle constitute an "intrinsic Hilbert space" of the stack.
The notion of cardinality of a discrete groupoid is generalized to Lie groupoids. The cardinality of a groupoid was defined by \textit{J. C. Baez} and \textit{J. Dolan} in [Mathematics unlimited, 29--50 (2001; Zbl 1004.18001)] to be sum of orders of isotropy groups. Here, this is extended to Lie groupoids and their associated smooth stalks considering the cardinality as a geometric rather than topological quantity and this extended notion is called volume of stalk which reduces to that of the cited paper in the discrete case.
