Lie algebra bundle

In mathematics, a weak Lie algebra bundle

\xi =(\xi ,p,X,\theta )\,

is a vector bundle $\xi \,$ over a base space X together with a morphism

\theta :\xi \otimes \xi \rightarrow \xi

which induces a Lie algebra structure on each fibre $\xi _{x}\,$ .

A Lie algebra bundle $\xi =(\xi ,p,X)\,$ is a vector bundle in which each fibre is a Lie algebra and for every x in X, there is an open set $U$ containing x, a Lie algebra L and a homeomorphism

\phi :U\times L\to p^{-1}(U)\,

such that

\phi _{x}:x\times L\rightarrow p^{-1}(x)\,

is a Lie algebra isomorphism.

Any Lie algebra bundle is a weak Lie algebra bundle, but the converse need not be true in general.

As an example of a weak Lie algebra bundle that is not a strong Lie algebra bundle, consider the total space ${\mathfrak {so}}(3)\times \mathbb {R}$ over the real line $\mathbb {R}$ . Let [.,.] denote the Lie bracket of ${\mathfrak {so}}(3)$ and deform it by the real parameter as:

[X,Y]_{x}=x\cdot [X,Y]

for $X,Y\in {\mathfrak {so}}(3)$ and $x\in \mathbb {R}$ .

Lie's third theorem states that every bundle of Lie algebras can locally be integrated to a bundle of Lie groups. However globally the total space might fail to be Hausdorff.^[1]
