Atiyah and Todd classes of regular Lie algebroids

Abstract: For any regular Lie algebroid

A

, the kernel

K

and the image

F

of its anchor map

h o_{A}

, together with

A

itself fit into a short exact sequence, called Atiyah sequence, of Lie algebroids. We prove that Atiyah and Todd classes of dg manifolds arising from regular Lie algebroids respect the Atiyah sequence. That is, the Atiyah and Todd classes of

A

restrict to the Atiyah and Todd classes of the bundle

K

of Lie algebras on the one hand, and project onto the Atiyah and Todd classes of the integrable distribution

F s u b s e t e q T_{M}

on the other hand.

Review text

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.
