Characteristic classes of Lie algebroid morphisms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We extend R. Fernandes' construction of secondary characteristic classes of a Lie algebroid to the case of a base-preserving morphism between two Lie algebroids. Like in the case of a Lie algebroid, the simplest characteristic class of our construction coincides with the modular class of the morphism.


This paper produces secondary classes of a base-preserving morphism of two Lie algebroids. Let us recall that recently R. Fernandes has constructed a sequence of secondary characteristic classes of a Lie algebroid with the modular class as first element. In this work, the author generalizes this construction. He uses the notion of Lehmann and the framework of categories.
