Questions tagged [lie-algebroids]
In differential geometry, Lie algebroids generalize on one hand Lie algebras, on the other hand the tangent bundle of a manifold: they are vector bundles equipped with an anchor map, i.e. a vector bundle morphism to the tangent bundle, and a Lie algebra structure on the space of sections subject to certain Leibniz rules. The integrated version of a Lie algebroid is a Lie groupoid. A purely algebraic version is a Lie-Rinehart algebra.

Regarding first order differential operator and derivative endomorphism
I am reading "Differential operators and actions of Lie algebroids" by Kosmann-Schwarzbach and Mackenzie.
There is some confusion regarding the terminology.
Let $E\rightarrow M$ be a vector ...
