Characteristic classes of regular Lie algebroids – a sketch
Kubarski, Jan
Similarity:
The discourse begins with a definition of a Lie algebroid which is a vector bundle over a manifold with an -Lie algebra structure on the smooth section module and a bundle morphism which induces a Lie algebra morphism on the smooth section modules. If has constant rank, the Lie algebroid is called regular. (A monograph on the theory of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids is published by [Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids in differential geometry (1987; Zbl 0683.53029)].) A principal...
