Submersions by Lie algebroids (Q2633480)

This paper introduces the notion of a submersion by Lie algebroids \((A,p)\): a Lie algebroid \(A\) on the total space of a surjective submersion \(p\colon\Sigma\to M\) such that each fiber \(\Sigma_x=p^{-1}(x)\), \(x\in M\), of the submersion is transverse to the Lie algebroid \(A\). Transitive Lie algebroids \(A\to M\) give examples \((A,\mathrm{id}_M)\), and surjective submersions \(p\colon \Sigma\to M\) give examples \((T\Sigma, p)\). Some basic properties of and constructions with these objects are discussed: morphisms, and local triviality versus Ehresmann connections. The paper shows that submersions by Lie algebroids pull back to submersions by Lie algebroids under any smooth map, and uses this to prove a normal form theorem for transversals in Lie algebroids. A system of local coefficients is associated to a representation of \(A\) on a vector bundle \(D\), and its monodromy is described. The last section discusses a spectral sequence that is associated with a locally trivial submersion by Lie algebroids. It leads to a localization of cohomology classes with values in \(D\), to cohomology classes of the fibres.
