Foliated Lie and Courant Algebroids
Abstract
If is a Lie algebroid over a foliated manifold , a foliation of is a Lie subalgebroid with anchor image and such that is locally equivalent with Lie algebroids over the slice manifolds of . We give several examples and, for foliated Lie algebroids, we discuss the following subjects: the dual Poisson structure and Vaintrob's super-vector field, cohomology and deformations of the foliation, integration to a Lie groupoid. In the last section, we define a corresponding notion of a foliation of a Courant algebroid as a bracket-closed, isotropic subbundle with anchor image and such that is locally equivalent with Courant algebroids over the slice manifolds of . Examples that motivate the definition are given.
