Title: Homological vector fields over differentiable stacks

Abstract: In this work we solve the problem of providing a Morita invariant definition of Lie and Courant algebroids over Lie groupoids. By relying on supergeometry, we view these structures as instances of vector fields on graded groupoids which are homological up to homotopy. We describe such vector fields in general from two complementary viewpoints: firstly, as Maurer-Cartan elements in a differential graded Lie algebra of multivector fields and, secondly, we also view them from a categorical approach, in terms of functors and natural transformations. Thereby, we obtain a unifying conceptual framework for studying LA-groupoids, $L_2$-algebroids (including semistrict Lie 2-algebras and 2-term representations up to homotopy), infinitesimal gerbe prequantizations, higher gauge theory (specifically, 2-connections on 2-bundles), quasi-Poisson groupoids and (twisted) multiplicative Courant algebroids.
