Extensions of Lie Brackets

Differential Geometry 2010-01-18 v5

Abstract

We provide a framework for extensions of Lie algebroids, including non-abelian extensions and Lie algebroids over different bases. Our approach involves Ehresmann connections, which allows straight generalizations of classical constructions. We exhibit a filtration in cohomology and explain the associated spectral sequence. We also give a description of the groupoid integrating an extension in case a complete connection can be fixed. The problem of integrability is also studied.
