Abstract

The concept of "orbifold embedding" is introduced. This is more general than sub-orbifolds. Some properties of orbifold embeddings are studied, and in the case of translation groupoids, orbifold embedding is shown to be equivalent to a strong equivariant immersion.

Keywords: orbifold, groupoid, equivariant immersion
