Strong projective limit of Banach Lie algebroids (Q2428726)

Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids have gained much attention in the last decades because of their applications in various fields such as symplectic geometry, geometric mechanics, control theory, etc. The paper deals with Lie algebroids modeled on Fréchet manifolds and arising as projective limits of Banach Lie algebroids. Fréchet manifolds present serious difficulties in their study because, among other things, there is no general solvability theory of differential equations in Fréchet spaces, and the group \(\mathrm{GL}(\mathbb{F})\), where \(\mathbb{F}\) is a Fréchet space, does not admit a reasonable Lie group structure. A way to circumvent these difficulties is to consider Fréchet manifolds and bundles arising as appropriate projective limits of Banach manifolds and maps. The main theorem asserts that the strong projective limit of Banach Lie algebroids is a Fréchet Lie algebroid. The strongness condition has to do with assumptions ensuring the existence of manifold and bundle charts. The paper is illustrated by examples related to finite and infinite dimensinal distributions, projective limits of semisprays and the Nijenhuis Lie algebroid. Reviewer's remark: The author erroneously attributes to [\textit{M. Aghashi} and \textit{A. Suri}, Balkan J. Geom. Appl. 15, No. 2, 1--13 (2010; Zbl 1218.58006)] for the development of the basic theory of Fréchet vector bundles, a subject approached earlier by \textit{G. Galanis} [Port. Math. 55, No. 1, 11--24 (1998; Zbl 0904.58002)].
