In this thesis, we develop two methods for constructing Lie groupoids.
The first method is a blow-up construction, corresponding to the elementary modification of a Lie algebroid along a subalgebroid over some closed hypersurface. This construction may be specialized to the Poisson groupoids and Lie bialgebroids. We then apply this method to three cases. The first is the adjoint Lie groupoid integrating the Lie algebroid of vector fields tangent to a collection of normal crossing hypersurfaces. The second is the adjoint symplectic groupoid of a log symplectic manifold. The third is the adjoint Lie groupoid integrating the tangent algebroid of a Riemann surface twisted by a divisor.
The second method is a gluing construction, whereby Lie groupoids defined on the open sets of an appropriate cover may be combined to obtain global integrations. This allows us to construct and classify the Lie groupoids integrating the given Lie algebroid. We apply this method to the aforementioned cases, albeit with small differences, and characterize the category of integrations in each case.
