In this paper, for a skew algebroid E, its modular class mod(E) is defined in the classical as well as in the supergeometric formulation. It is proved that there is a homogeneous nowhere-vanishing 1-density on E* which is invariant with respect to all Hamiltonian vector fields if and only if E is modular, i.e. mod(E)=0. Further, relative modular class of a subalgebroid is introduced and studied together with its application to holonomy, as well as modular class of a skew algebroid relation. These notions provide, in particular, a unified approach to the concepts of a modular class of a Lie algebroid morphism and that of a Poisson map.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-08-11T10:26:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53D17", "17B56", "17B63", "17B66", "17B70", "58A32" ], "keywords": [ "skew algebroid relation", "modular classes", "hamiltonian vector fields", "modular class mod", "lie algebroid morphism" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1108.2366G" } } }
