Atiyah and Todd classes of regular Lie algebroids (Q6174102)

A dg manifold (or a Q-manifold) is a \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded smooth manifold equipped with a homological vector field Q, i.e., a degree \(+1\) derivation of square zero on the algebra of smooth functions. A Lie algebroid \((A, \rho_A, [-,-]_A)\) over a smooth manifold \(M\) is said to be {\em regular} if its anchor \(\rho_A\) is of constant rank. The kernel \(K = \ker(\rho_A)\) together with the restriction \([-,-]_K\) of the Lie bracket \([-,-]_A\) onto \(\Gamma (K)\) is a bundle of Lie algebras; the image \(F = \operatorname{Im}(\rho_A) \subseteq TM\) as the tangent bundle of the regular characteristic foliation, is a Lie subalgebroid of the tangent Lie algebroid \(TM\). In other words there is a short exact sequence \[ 0\rightarrow K \stackrel{i} \rightarrow A \stackrel{\rho_A} \rightarrow F\rightarrow 0 \] of Lie algebroids over \(M\), known as the Atiyah sequence of \(A\). In this paper, the author studies the Atiyah and Todd classes of dg manifolds arising from regular Lie algebroids and proves that these classes fit into a short exact sequence called Atiyah sequence.
