Weightings and Lie groupoids
Abstract
This note originated with a mini-course taught at KU Leuven by the author in June 2026. We review the definition of weightings (or quasi-homogeneous structures), the weighted normal bundle, and the weighted deformation space. We emphasize the algebraic approach and functorial properties, using sheaves of ideals and the character spectrum for sheaves of algebras. We review the definition of a multiplicative weighting on a Lie groupoid Grightrightarrows M, and give a self-contained proof of the three-way equivalence between (i) multiplicative weightings of G along M, (ii) Lie filtrations of the Lie algebroid A of G, (iii) dg weightings of the NQ manifold A[1] along M. The corresponding weighted deformation space is a weighted variant of the tangent/adiabatic groupoid and is used in the study of hypoelliptic operators.
