| Abstract: |

| We can provide the tangent space at 1 of a Lie group with a Lie algebra structure.
Conversely, Lie's third theorem establishes that to every Lie algebra of finite
dimension, we can associate, up to isomorphism, a unique simply connected Lie
group such that its tangent space at 1 is isomorphic to our given Lie algebra.
The goal of this talk is to give results which generalize this correspondance to a larger type of algebras : the Leibniz algebras. A Leibniz algebra being a vector space provided with a bracket which satisfies only the Jacobi identity (not necessarily the skew-symmetry).We will show that every Leibniz algebra can be locally integrate into an augmented Lie rack. |
