Abstract
We investigate the infinitesimal invariants of an immersed submanifold of a Klein geometry , and in particular an invariant filtration of Lie algebroids over . The invariants are derived from the logarithmic derivative of the immersion of into , a complete invariant introduced in the companion article, 'A characterization of smooth maps into a homogeneous space'. Applications of the Lie algebroid approach to subgeometry include a new interpretation of Cartan's method of moving frames and a novel proof of the fundamental theorem of hypersurfaces in Euclidean, elliptic and hyperbolic geometry.
