  • Integrability of Lie Brackets

We show that the integrability problem is controlled by two computable obstructions. As ap- plications we derive, explain and improve the known integrability results, we establish integrability by local Lie groupoids, we clarify the smoothness of the Poisson sigma-model for Poisson manifolds, and we describe other geometrical applications.

  • Lie Algebroids, Gauge Theories, and Compatible Geometrical Structures
    LIE ALGEBROIDS, GAUGE THEORIES, AND COMPATIBLE GEOMETRICAL STRUCTURES ALEXEI KOTOV AND THOMAS STROBL Abstract. The construction of gauge theories beyond the realm of Lie groups and algebras leads one to consider Lie groupoids and algebroids equipped with additional geometrical structures which, for gauge invariance of the construction, need to satisfy particular compatibility conditions. This paper is supposed to analyze these compatibil- ities from a mathematical perspective. In particular, we show that the compatibility of a connection with a Lie algebroid that one finds is the Cartan condition, introduced previously by A. Blaom. For the metric on the base M of a Lie algebroid equipped with any connection, we show that the compatibility suggested from gauge theories implies that the foliation induced by the Lie algebroid becomes a Riemannian foliation. Building upon a result of del Hoyo and Fernandes, we prove furthermore that every Lie algebroid integrating to a proper Lie groupoid admits a compatible Riemannian base. We also consider the case where the base is equipped with a compatible symplectic or generalized Riemannian structure. Key words and phrases: Lie algebroids, Riemannian foliations, symplectic realization, generalized geometry, symmetries and reduction, gauge theories. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

Moreover, we develop thoroughly the connection to the algebra of sections of the associated Lie algebroid and show for a large class of Lie groupoids that their groups of bisections are regular in the sense of Milnor.

This comprises homotopical and higher Lie algebras (L∞-algebras) and Lie groups (group stacks and Kan simplicial manifolds), Lie algebroids, Lie groupoids and generalisations thereof (e.g., Courant algebroids) and infinite- dimensional locally convex Lie groups and Lie algebras.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of equivalence. In this setting, we are able to construct characteristic classes, which in special cases reproduce characteristic classes constructed by Crainic and Fernandes. We give a complete classification of regular VB-algebroids, and in the process we obtain another characteristic class of Lie algebroids that does not appear in the ordinary representation theory of Lie algebroids. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Keywords: Lie algebroid; Representation; Superconnection; Double category; Characteristic classes 1. Introduction Double structures, such as double vector bundles, double Lie groupoids, double Lie alge- broids, and LA-groupoids, have been extensively studied by Kirill Mackenzie and his collabora- tors [11–15]. In this paper, we study VB-algebroids, which are essentially Lie algebroid objects in the category of vector bundles.

The generalized projective structure on a Riemann surface Σ of genus g with n marked points is the affine space over the cotangent bundle to the space of SL(N)-opers. It is a phasespace of WN -gravity on Σ×R. We define the moduli space of WN -gravity as a symplectic quotient with respect to the canonicalaction of a special class of Lie algebroids. They describe in particular the moduli space of deformationsof complex structureson the Riemann surface by differential operators of finite order, or equivalently, by a quotient space of Volterra operators. We call these algebroids the Adler-Gelfand-Dikii (AGD) algebroids, because they are constructed by means of AGD bivector on the space of opers restricted on a circle. The AGD-algebroids are particular case of Lie algebroids related to a Poisson sigma-model. The moduli space of the generalized projective structure can be described by cohomology of the BRST- complex. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Lie algebroids and groupoids 3 3.

It is well-known that a Lie algebroid A is equivalently described by a degree 1 NQ-manifold M. We study distributions on M, giving a char- acterization in terms of A. We show that involutive Q-invariant distributions on M correspond bijectively to IM-foliations on A (the infinitesimal version of Mackenzie’s ideal systems). We perform reduction by such distributions, and investigate how they arise from non-strict actions of strict Lie 2-algebras on M. 1. Introduction. Lie algebroids play an important role in differential geometry and mathematical physics. It is known that integrable Lie algebroids are in bijec- tion with source simply connected Lie groupoids Γ. There is an aboundant literature studying geometric structures on Γ which are compatible with the groupoid multi- plication, and how they correspond to structures on the Lie algebroid. Examples of the former are multiplicative foliations on Γ, and examples of the latter are morphic foliations and IM-foliations, where “IM” stands for “infinitesimally multiplicative1” In this note we take a graded-geometric point of view on Lie algebroids, using their characterization as NQ-1 manifolds.
