Differential calculus on a Lie algebroid and Poisson manifolds

چکیده
A Lie algebroid over a manifold is a vector bundle over that manifold whose properties are very similar to those of a tangent bundle. Its dual bundle has properties very similar to those of a cotangent bundle: in the graded algebra of sections of its external powers, one can define an operator dE similar to the exterior derivative. We present in this paper the theory of Lie derivatives, Schouten-Nijenhuis brackets and exterior derivatives in the general setting of a Lie algebroid, its dual bundle and their exterior powers. All the results (which, for their most part, are already known) are given with detailed proofs. In the final sections, the results are applied to Poisson manifolds.

A Note on Poisson Lie Algebroids
The Lie algebroid [10] is a generalization of both concepts of Lie algebra and integrable distribution, being a vector bundle (E, π, M) with a Lie bracket on his space of sections with properties very similar to those of a tangent bundle. The Poisson manifolds are the smooth manifolds equipped with a Poisson bracket on their ring of functions. I have to remark that the cotangent bundle of a Poi...
متن کاملPseudodifferential Operators on Differential Groupoids
We construct an algebra of pseudodifferential operators on each groupoid in a class that generalizes differentiable groupoids to allow manifolds with corners. We show that this construction encompasses many examples. The subalgebra of regularizing operators is identified with the smooth algebra of the groupoid, in the sense of non-commutative geometry. Symbol calculus for our algebra lies in th...
متن کاملNambu-Poisson manifolds and associated n-ary Lie algebroids
We introduce an n-ary Lie algebroid canonically associated to a NambuPoisson manifold. We also prove that every Nambu-Poisson bracket defined on functions is induced by some differential operator on the exterior algebra, and characterize such operators. Some physical examples are presented.
متن کاملAlgebroids – General Differential Calculi on Vector Bundles
A notion of an algebroid-a generalization of a Lie algebroid structure on a vector bundle is introduced. We show that many objects of the differential calculus on a manifold M associated with the canonical Lie algebroid structure on TM can be obtained in the framework of a general algebroid. Also a compatibility condition which leads, in general, to a concept of a bialgebroid. 0 Introduction. T...

We begin with a short presentation of the basic concepts related to Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, but the main part of this paper deals with Lie algebroids. A Lie algebroid over a manifold is a vector bundle over that manifold whose properties are very similar to those of a tangent bundle. Its dual bundle has properties very similar to those of a cotangent bundle: in the graded algebra of s...
