- Abstract
Cartan–Lie algebroids, i.e., Lie algebroids equipped with a compatible connection, permit the definition of an adjoint representation, on the fiber as well as on the tangent of the base. We call (positive) quadratic Lie algebroids, Cartan–Lie algebroids with ad-invariant (Riemannian) metrics on their fibers and base κ<inline-graphic></inline-graphic> and <italic>g</italic>, respectively. We determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive quadratic Lie algebroid to integrate to a Riemannian Cartan–Lie groupoid. Here we mean a Cartan–Lie groupoid G<inline-graphic></inline-graphic> equipped with a bi-invariant and inversion-invariant metric η<inline-graphic></inline-graphic> on TG<inline-graphic></inline-graphic> such that it induces by submersion the metric <italic>g</italic> on its base and its restriction to the <italic>t</italic>-fibers coincides with κ<inline-graphic></inline-graphic>.
