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.

Examples of Lie Algebroids

Here is an exotic Lie algebroid structure. Consider an inclusion of algebraic varieties $i:X\hookrightarrow Y$. Then we have a short exact sequence in $\mathcal O_X$-mod: $$ 0\to T_X\to i^*T_Y\to N\t …

For which algebras does \{Differential Operators\} satisfy a PBW-like theorem?

I think a sufficient condition is: the $A$-module $Der_k(A)$ of $k$-derivations of $A$ is projective. A hint for the proof you may find in an old paper of G.S. Rinehart: Differential Forms on …

What's an example of a commutative algebra over $\mathbb Q$ that fails to satisfy this versi...

Let me try to give a naive answer. Consider the following symmetric triderivation on $A=k[x]/x^2$: $$ x\partial_x\otimes\partial_x\otimes\partial_x:(x,x,x)\mapsto x $$ How could it be in the image of …
