“Elementary modification of Lie algebroids and the blow-up construction of Lie groupoids”

We introduce the elementary modification of Lie algebroids and the corresponding blow-up construction of Lie groupoids. As applications, we construct the log tangent groupoids and the symplectic groupoids of log symplectic manifolds. Joint work with Marco Gualtieri and Brent Pym.
