Abstract
We formulate and prove a generalisation of Lie’s second theorem that integrates homomorphisms between formal group laws to homomorphisms between Lie groups. Firstly we generalise classical Lie theory by replacing groups with groupoids. Secondly we include groupoids whose underlying spaces are not smooth manifolds. The main intended application is when we replace the category of smooth manifolds with a well-adapted model of synthetic differential geometry. In addition we provide an axiomatic system that provides all the abstract structure that is required to prove Lie’s second theorem.
