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 (L,A)(L,A), i.e. a Lie algebroid LL together with a Lie subalgebroid AA, we investigate isomorphism classes of infinitesimal deformations of (L,A)(L,A) modulo automorphisms from exponentials of derivations of LL and those from the exponentials of inner derivations of LL, respectively. For the associated two deformation functors, we find the associated governing LL_\infty-algebras in the sense of extended deformation theory. Furthermore, when (L,A)(L,A) is a matched Lie pair, i.e. the quotient L/AL/A is also a Lie subalgebroid of LL, we investigate isomorphism classes of infinitesimal deformations modulo automorphisms from exponentials of derivations along the normal direction L/AL/A. The extended deformation theory of the associated deformation functor recovers the formal deformation theory of complex structures and that of transversely holomorphic foliations.
