 \subsection{Topic on Lie algebroids}
This is a topic entry on Lie algebroids that focuses on their quantum applications and extensions of current \htmladdnormallink{algebraic}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/CoIntersections.html} theories.

\emph{Lie algebroids} generalize \emph{\htmladdnormallink{Lie algebras}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/BilinearMap.html}}, and in certain quantum \htmladdnormallink{systems}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/SimilarityAndAnalogousSystemsDynamicAdjointnessAndTopologicalEquivalence.html} they represent extended quantum (\htmladdnormallink{algebroid}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Algebroids.html}) symmetries. One can think of a \emph{Lie algebroid} as generalizing the idea of a tangent bundle where the \htmladdnormallink{tangent space}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/BilinearMap.html} at a point is effectively the equivalence class of curves meeting at that point (thus suggesting a \htmladdnormallink{groupoid}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/QuantumOperatorAlgebra5.html} approach), as well as serving as a site on which to study infinitesimal geometry (see, for example, ref. \cite{Mackenzie2005}). The formal definition of a Lie algebroid is presented next.

\begin{definition}
Let $M$ be a \htmladdnormallink{manifold}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/NoncommutativeGeometry4.html} and let $\mathfrak X(M)$ denote the set of \htmladdnormallink{vector fields}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/NeutrinoRestMass.html} on $M$. Then, a
\emph{Lie algebroid} over $M$ consists of a \emph{\htmladdnormallink{vector}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Vectors.html} bundle $E \lra M$,
equipped with a Lie bracket $[~,~]$ on the space of \htmladdnormallink{sections}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/IsomorphicObjectsUnderAnIsomorphism.html} $\gamma(E)$,
and a bundle map $\Upsilon : E \lra TM$}, usually called the \emph{anchor}.
Furthermore, there is an induced map $\Upsilon : \gamma (E) \lra \mathfrak X(M)$,
which is required to be a map of Lie algebras, such that given sections $\a, \beta \in
\gamma(E)$ and a differentiable \htmladdnormallink{function}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Bijective.html} $f$, the following
Leibniz rule is satisfied~:

\begin{equation}
[ \a, f \beta] = f [\a, \beta] + (\Upsilon (\a)) \beta~.
\end{equation}
\end{definition}

\begin{example}
A typical example of a Lie algebroid is obtained when $M$ is a Poisson
manifold and $E=T^*M$, that is $E$ is the cotangent bundle of $M$.
\end{example}

Now suppose we have a Lie groupoid $\mathsf{G}$:
\begin{equation}
r,s~:~ \xymatrix{ \mathsf{G} \ar@<1ex>[r]^r \ar[r]_s & \mathsf{G}^{(0)}}=M~.
\end{equation}
There is an associated Lie algebroid $\A = \A( \mathsf{G})$, which in the
guise of a vector bundle, it is the restriction to $M$ of the
bundle of tangent vectors along the fibers of $s$ (ie. the
$s$--vertical vector fields). Also, the space of sections $\gamma
(\A)$ can be identified with the space of $s$--vertical,
right--invariant vector fields $\mathfrak X^s_{inv} (\mathsf{G})$ which
can be seen to be closed under $[~,~]$, and the latter induces a
bracket \htmladdnormallink{operation}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Cod.html} on $\gamma (A)$ thus turning $\A$ into a Lie
algebroid. Subsequently, a Lie algebroid $\A$ is integrable if
there exists a Lie groupoid $\mathsf{G}$ inducing $\A$~.

\begin{remark}
Unlike Lie algebras that can be integrated to corresponding \htmladdnormallink{Lie groups}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/BilinearMap.html}, not all {\em Lie algebroids} are `smoothly integrable' to Lie groupoids; the subset of Lie groupoids that have corresponding Lie algebroids are sometimes called {\em `Weinstein groupoids'}.
\end{remark}

Note also the \htmladdnormallink{relation}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Bijective.html} of the Lie algebroids to \htmladdnormallink{Hamiltonian algebroids}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/HamiltonianAlgebroid3.html}, also concerning recent developments in (relativistic) \htmladdnormallink{quantum gravity theories}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/SpaceTimeQuantizationInQuantumGravityTheories.html}.
