Lie Algebroid Invariants for Subgeometry
Anthony D. Blaom Waiheke Island, New Zealand
Abstract:
We investigate the infinitesimal invariants of an immersed submanifold $\Sigma $ of a Klein geometry $M\cong G/H$, and in particular an invariant filtration of Lie algebroids over $\Sigma $. The invariants are derived from the logarithmic derivative of the immersion of $\Sigma $ into $M$, 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.
Keywords:
