Lie Algebroid Invariants for Subgeometry

Differential Geometry 2018-06-19 v2

Abstract

We investigate the infinitesimal invariants of an immersed submanifold Σ\Sigma of a Klein geometry MG/HM\cong G/H, and in particular an invariant filtration of Lie algebroids over Σ\Sigma . The invariants are derived from the logarithmic derivative of the immersion of Σ\Sigma into MM, 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.
