Groupoid - Lie Groupoids and Lie Algebroids

Lie Groupoids and Lie Algebroids

When studying geometrical objects, the arising groupoids often carry some differentiable structure, turning them into Lie groupoids. These can be studied in terms of Lie algebroids, in analogy to the relation between Lie groups and Lie algebras.

Famous quotes containing the word lie:

    “Now night perfumes lie upon the air,
    As rests the blossom on the loaded bough;
    And each deep-drawn breath is redolent
    Of all the folded flowers’ mingled scent
    That rises in confused rapture now.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
