A natural geometric framework is proposed, based on ideas of W. M. Tulczyjew, for constructions of dynamics on general algebroids. One obtains formalisms similar to the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian ones. In contrast with recently studied concepts of Analytical Mechanics on Lie algebroids, this approach requires much less than the presence of a Lie algebroid structure on a vector bundle, but it still reproduces the main features of the Analytical Mechanics, like the Euler–Lagrange-type equations, the correspondence between the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions (Legendre transform) in the hyperregular cases, and a version of the Noether Theorem.

A hom-Lie algebroid is a vector bundle together with a Lie algebroid like structure which is twisted by a homomorphism. In this paper, we use the idea of representations up to homotopy of Lie algebroids to construct a same structure for hom-Lie algebroids and we will explain how representations up to homotopy of length 1 are related to extensions of hom-Lie algebroids.

AbstractWe give a direct, explicit and self-contained construction of a local Lie groupoid integrating a given Lie algebroid which only depends on the choice of a spray vector field lifting the underlying anchor map. This construction leads to a complete account of local Lie theory and, in particular, to a finite-dimensional proof of the fact that the category of germs of local Lie groupoids is equivalent to that of Lie algebroids.

In this paper, we relate Lie algebroids to Costello’s version of derived geometry. For instance, we show that each Lie algebroid – and the natural generalization to dg Lie algebroids – provides an (essentially unique) $L_{\infty }$ space. More precisely, we construct a faithful functor from the category of Lie algebroids to the category of $L_{\infty }$ spaces. Then we show that for each Lie algebroid $L$, there is a fully faithful functor from the category of representations up to homotopy of $L$ to the category of vector bundles over the associated $L_{\infty }$ space. Indeed, this functor sends the adjoint complex of $L$ to the tangent bundle of the $L_{\infty }$ space. Finally, we show that a shifted symplectic structure on a dg Lie algebroid produces a shifted symplectic structure on the associated $L_{\infty }$ space.

Graded bundles are a particularly nice class of graded manifolds and represent a natural generalization of vector bundles. By exploiting the formalism of supermanifolds to describe Lie algebroids, we define the notion of a weighted[Formula: see text]-connection on a graded bundle. In a natural sense weighted [Formula: see text]-connections are adapted to the basic geometric structure of a graded bundle in the same way as linear [Formula: see text]-connections are adapted to the structure of a vector bundle. This notion generalizes directly to multi-graded bundles and in particular we present the notion of a bi-weighted[Formula: see text]-connection on a double vector bundle. We prove the existence of such adapted connections and use them to define (quasi-)actions of Lie algebroids on graded bundles.

Introducing the Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a Kaluza–Klein bundle, we develop the theory of general distinguished linear connections for this space. In particular, using the Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of the Kaluza–Klein vector bundle, we present the (g, h)-lift of a curve on the base M and we characterize the horizontal and vertical parallelism of the (g, h)-lift of accelerations with respect to a distinguished linear (ρ, η)-connection. Moreover, we study the torsion, curvature and Ricci tensor field associated to a distinguished linear (ρ, η)-connection and we obtain the identities of Cartan and Bianchi type in the general framework of the Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a Kaluza–Klein bundle. Finally, we introduce the theory of (pseudo) generalized Kaluza–Klein G-spaces and we develop the Einstein equations in this general framework.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The core diagram of a double Lie algebroid consists of the core of the double Lie algebroid, together with the two core-anchor maps to the sides of the double Lie algebroid. If these two core-anchors are surjective, then the double Lie algebroid and its core diagram are called <i>transitive</i>. This paper establishes an equivalence between transitive double Lie algebroids, and transitive core diagrams over a fixed base manifold. In other words, it proves that a transitive double Lie algebroid is completely determined by its core diagram.</p><p style='text-indent:20px;'>The comma double Lie algebroid associated to a morphism of Lie algebroids is defined. If the latter morphism is one of the core-anchors of a transitive core diagram, then the comma double algebroid can be quotiented out by the second core-anchor, yielding a transitive double Lie algebroid, which is the one that is equivalent to the transitive core diagram.</p><p style='text-indent:20px;'>Brown's and Mackenzie's equivalence of transitive core diagrams (of Lie groupoids) with transitive double Lie groupoids is then used in order to show that a transitive double Lie algebroid with integrable sides and core is automatically integrable to a transitive double Lie groupoid.</p>

We use the general setting for contrast (potential) functions in statistical and information geometry provided by Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids. The contrast functions are defined on Lie groupoids and give rise to two-forms and three-forms on the corresponding Lie algebroid. We study the case when the two-form is degenerate and show how in sufficiently regular cases one reduces it to a pseudometric structures. Transversal Levi-Civita connections for Riemannian foliations are generalized to the Lie groupoid/Lie algebroid case.

Abstract In the present paper we study the properties of dual structures on the prolongations of a Lie algebroid. We introduce the dynamical covariant derivative on Lie algebroids and prove that the nonlinear connection induced by a regular Lagrangian is compatible with the metric and symplectic structures. The notions of mechanical structure and semi-Hamiltonian section are introduced on the prolongation of the Lie algebroid to its dual bundle and their properties are investigated. Finally, we prove the equivalence between the metric nonlinear connection and semi-Hamiltonian section, using the Legendre transformation induced by a regular Hamiltonian.

We construct Hermitian representations of Lie algebroids and associated unitary representations of Lie groupoids by a geometric quantization procedure. For this purpose, we introduce a new notion of Hamiltonian Lie algebroid actions. The first step of our procedure consists of the construction of a prequantization line bundle. Next, we discuss a version of Kähler quantization suitable for this setting. We proceed by defining a Marsden–Weinstein quotient for our setting and prove a "quantization commutes with reduction" theorem. We explain how our geometric quantization procedure relates to a possible orbit method for Lie groupoids. Our theory encompasses the geometric quantization of symplectic manifolds, Hamiltonian Lie algebra actions, actions of bundles of Lie groups, and foliations, as well as some general constructions from differential geometry.

Inspired by the work of Molino, we show that the integrability obstruction for transitive Lie algebroids can be made to vanish by adding extra dimensions. In particular, we prove that the Weinstein groupoid of a non-integrable transitive and abelian Lie algebroid is the quotient of a finite-dimensional Lie groupoid. Two constructions as such are given: First, explaining the counterexample to integrability given by Almeida and Molino, we see that it can be generalized to the construction of an “Almeida–Molino” integrable lift when the base manifold is simply connected. On the other hand, we notice that the classical de Rham isomorphism provides a universal integrable algebroid. Using it we construct a “de Rham” integrable lift for any given transitive Abelian Lie algebroid.
