Abstract: We show how one can associate to a given class of finite type G-structures a classifying Lie algebroid. The corresponding Lie groupoid gives models for the different geometries that one can find in the class, and encodes also the different types of symmetry groups.

Review text

This paper is a preliminary announcement of the results obtained by the second author in his thesis and its aim is to describe how one can associate to a certain class of geometric structure a classifying Lie algebroid \(A\rightarrow X\) with the following properties: i) to each point on the base \(X\) there corresponds a (germ of a) geometric structure of the class; ii) two structures in the class are locally isomorphic if and only if they correspond to the same point of \(X\); iii) the isotropy Lie algebra at a point is the symmetry Lie algebra of the corresponding geometrical structure; iv) two points belong to the same orbit of \(A\) if and only if there exists a geometric structure of the class which contains their corresponding germs. The associated Lie groupoid yields different models for the distinct geometries that one can find in the class. Two examples are included: constant curvature 2d metrics and Bochner-Kähler metrics.
