A Hopf algebra associated to a Lie pair

Abstract

The quotient $L/A[-1]$ of a pair $A\hookrightarrow L$ of Lie algebroids is a Lie algebra object in the derived category $D^b(\mathscr{A})$ of the category $\mathscr{A}$ of left $\mathcal{U}(A)$-modules, the Atiyah class $α_{L/A}$ being its Lie bracket. In this note, we describe the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra object $L/A[-1]$ and we prove that it is a Hopf algebra object in $D^b(\mathscr{A})$.
