Abstract : Lie's third theorem is the result that every finite-dimensional Lie algebra integrates to a Lie group. Its two possible generalizations fail: not every Lie algebroid integrates to a Lie groupoid, and not every Banach Lie algebra integrates to a Banach Lie group. In this series of talks, we will show how diffeology, a category of generalized smooth spaces introduced by Souriau in the 1980s, can address this shortcoming.


In the first talk, we will introduce diffeology, with a focus on examples and relations to other smooth structures (orbifolds, infinite-dimensional manifolds, manifolds with boundary). This introduction will extend to the second talk, where we will discuss diffeology's role in the theory of Lie groupoids and singular foliations. Finally, in the third talk, we will present the machinery needed to diffeologically integrate certain Banach Lie algebras which admit no classical integration, and remark on the case for Lie algebroids.
