Lie groupoids are a fundamental part of the language of differential geometry: they bring both differentiable actions of Lie groups and foliations under a single roof. In complex geometry, they underly the work of Kuranishi and others on moduli of holomorphic vector bundles. In this talk, I will report on recent work (joint with Kai Behrend) generalizing the theory of Lie groupoids to higher groupoids - where the symmetries have symmetries of their own, and so on. We will show how this yields a language for extending Kuranishi's ideas to the setting of complexes of holomorphic bundles (or better, of twisted complexes).
