General Theory of Lie Groupoids and Lie Algebroids
General Theory of Lie Groupoids and Lie Algebroids
£89.99
GBPThis a comprehensive modern account of the theory of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, and their importance in differential geometry, in particular their relations with Poisson geometry and general connection theory. It covers much work done since the mid 1980s including the first treatment in book form of Poisson groupoids, Lie bialgebroids and double vector bundles, as well as a revised account of the relations between locally trivial Lie groupoids, Atiyah sequences, and connections in principal bundles. As such, this book will be of great interest to all those concerned with the use of Poisson geometry as a semi-classical limit of quantum geometry, as well as to all those working in or wishing to learn the modern theory of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids.
- Book includes many results which have never appeared in book form before
- Massive expansion of a successful earlier book
- A thorough and detailed account of the subject
