Abstract:
We introduce the concept of a higher algebroid, generalizing the notions of an algebroid and a higher tangent bundle. Our ideas are based on a description of (Lie) algebroids as vector bundle comorphisms – differential relations of a special kind. In our approach higher algebroids are vector bundle comorphism between graded-linear bundles satisfying natural axioms. We provide natural examples and discuss applications in geometric mechanics.
Keywords:
higher algebroid; vector bundle comorphism; almost-Lie algebroid; graded manifold; graded bundle; algebroid lift; variational principle.
