We examine functorial and homotopy properties of the exotic characteristic homomorphism in the category of Lie algebroids which was lastly obtained by the authors in [4]. This homomorphism depends on a triple (A,B,) where B A are regular Lie algebroids, both over the same regular foliated manifold (M,…
The authors define some secondary characteristic homomorphism for the triple (A,B,\bigtriangledown), in which B\subset A is a pair of regular Lie algebroids over the same foliated manifold and \bigtriangledown:L\rightarrow A is a homomorphism of Lie algebroids (i.e. a flat L-connection in A) where L is an arbitrary (no…
We extend the notion of connection in order to be able to study singular geometric structures, namely, we consider a notion of connection on a Lie algebroid which is a natural extension of the usual concept of connection. Using connections, we are able to define holonomy of the orbit foliation of a Lie algebroid and pr…
Using our earlier proposal for Ramond-Ramond fields in an H-flux on loop space, we extend the Hori isomorphism of Bouwknegt-Evslin-Mathai from invariant differential forms, to invariant exotic differential forms such that the momentum and winding numbers are exchanged, filling in a gap in the literature. We also extend…

Constructing -Lie algebroids via connections
New methods distinguish exotic 4-manifolds using Heegaard Floer homology.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a pre-symplectic algebroid, and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between pre-symplectic algebroids and symplectic Lie algebroids. This result is the geometric generalization of the relation between left-symmetric algebras and symplectic (Frobenius) Lie algebras. A…
The paper categorifies Lie and Courant algebroids, establishing correspondences and new constructions.
Introduces new construction for Courant algebroids and curved structures.
This paper provides an alternative, much simpler, definition for Li-Bland's LA-Courant algebroids, or Poisson Lie 2-algebroids, in terms of split Lie 2-algebroids and self-dual 2-representations. This definition generalises in a precise sense the characterisation of (decomposed) double Lie algebroids via matched pairs …
In this paper, we introduce the notion of -Courant algebroids, where is a vector bundle. It is a kind of generalized Courant algebroid and contains Courant algebroids, Courant-Jacobi algebroids and omni-Lie algebroids as its special cases. We explore novel phenomena exhibited by -Courant algebroids and provid…
Constructs exotic proper 2-knots from open 2-handles.
The paper presents a new method to create exotic 4-manifolds and surfaces that remain exotic after stabilization.
New actions found on exotic spheres using group theory.
We introduce the category of generalized Courant algebroids and show that it admits a free object on any anchored vector bundle. The free Courant algebroid is built from two components: the generalized Courant algebroid associated to a symmetric Leibniz algebroid and the free symmetric Leibniz algebroid on an anchored …
The paper constructs exotic knotted surfaces and curves in 4-manifolds.
We propose a definition of Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroid and show that any such Jacobi algebroid has an associated quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid. Therefore, also an associated Courant-Jacobi algebroid is obtained. We introduce the notions of quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid morphism and Courant-Jacobi algebroid morphism providin…
Paper finds exotic diffeomorphisms on specific 4-manifolds.
Detects exotic embeddings in 4-manifolds with boundary.
In this paper, we give the notion of a CLWX 2-algebroid and show that a QP-structure of degree 3 gives rise to a CLWX 2-algebroid. This is the higher analogue of the result that a QP-structure of degree 2 gives rise to a Courant algebroid. A CLWX 2-algebroid can also be viewed as a categorified Courant algebroid. We sh…
Pre-Courant algebroids are `Courant algebroids' without the Jacobi identity for the Courant-Dorfman bracket. In this paper we examine the corresponding supermanifold description of pre-Courant algebroids and some direct consequences thereof - such as the definition of (sub-)Dirac structures and the notion of the naive …
In this paper, we introduce a notion of a left-symmetric algebroid, which is a generalization of a left-symmetric algebra from a vector space to a vector bundle. The left multiplication gives rise to a representation of the corresponding sub-adjacent Lie algebroid. We construct left-symmetric algebroids from $\mathcal …
Study exotic phenomena in small 4-manifolds using diffeomorphisms.
Notes on relative algebroids for geometric problems.
We show how to construct absolutely exotic smooth structures on compact 4-manifolds with boundary, including contractible manifolds. In particular, we prove that any compact smooth 4-manifold W with boundary that admits a relatively exotic structure contains a pair of codimension-zero submanifolds homotopy equivalent t…
New invariant real rank identifies constant real Lie algebroids.
This work explores higher-order algebroids via vector bundle comorphisms.
Since the first work on exotic smoothness in physics, it was folklore to assume a direct influence of exotic smoothness to quantum gravity. In the second paper, we calculate the "smoothness structure" part of the path integral in quantum gravity for the exotic R^4 as non-compact manifold. We discuss the influence of th…
A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of equivalence. In this setting, we are able to construct characteristic classes, which in…
New exotic structures found on 4-manifolds with specific groups.
4-manifolds can be exotic after connected sum with S^2 x S^2.
We define a general notion of abstract double Lie algebroid. We show (1) that the double Lie algebroid of a double Lie groupoid is a double Lie algebroid in this sense; (2) that the double cotangent constructed from Lie algebroid structures on a vector bundle A and its dual A* is a double Lie algebroid if and only if (…
Study examines Lie algebroids with homological sections, generalizing Q-manifolds and Lie superalgebras.
We define involution algebroids which generalise Lie algebroids to the abstract setting of tangent categories. As a part of this generalisation the Jacobi identity which appears in classical Lie theory is replaced by an identity similar to the Yang-Baxter equation. Every classical Lie algebroid has the structure of an …
New exotic 4-manifolds found with small trisection genus.
This paper constructs exotic diffeomorphisms on reducible 4-manifolds with odd b+.
Defines connections on parabolic vector bundles for Lie algebroids.
Weighted Lie algebroids were recently introduced as Lie algebroids equipped with an additional compatible non-negative grading, and represent a wide generalisation of the notion of a VB -algebroid. There is a close relation between two term representations up to homotopy of Lie algebroids and VB - algebroids. In this p…
Inspired by recent works of Zang Liu, Alan Weinstein and Ping Xu, we introduce the notions of CC algebroids and non asymmetric Courant algebroids and study these structures. It is shown that CC algebroids of rank greater than 3 are the same as Courant algebroids up to a constant factor, though the definition of CC alge…
In this paper we introduce exotic twisted -equivariant K-theory of loop space depending on the (typically non-flat) holonomy line bundle on induced from a gerbe with connection on . We also define exotic twisted -equivariant Chern character that maps the exotic tw…
