Infinitesimal deformations of Lie algebroid pairs
Abstract
We study infinitesimal deformations of Lie algebroid pairs in the category of smooth manifolds enriched with a local Artinian algebra. Given a Lie algebroid pair , i.e. a Lie algebroid together with a Lie subalgebroid , we investigate isomorphism classes of infinitesimal deformations of modulo automorphisms from exponentials of derivations of and those from the exponentials of inner derivations of , respectively. For the associated two deformation functors, we find the associated governing -algebras in the sense of extended deformation theory. Furthermore, when is a matched Lie pair, i.e. the quotient is also a Lie subalgebroid of , we investigate isomorphism classes of infinitesimal deformations modulo automorphisms from exponentials of derivations along the normal direction . The extended deformation theory of the associated deformation functor recovers the formal deformation theory of complex structures and that of transversely holomorphic foliations.
