Vector fields and derivations on differentiable stacks
Abstract
We introduce and study module structures on both the dgla of multiplicative vector fields and the graded algebra of functions on Lie groupoids. We show that there is an associated structure of a graded Lie-Rinehart algebra on the vector fields of a differentiable stack over its smooth functions that is Morita invariant in an appropriate sense. Furthermore, we show that associated Van-Est type maps are compatible with those module structures. We also present several examples.
