A Lie algebroid is a mathematical structure that generalizes the concepts of Lie algebras and tangent bundles in differential geometry. It arises in various fields such as Poisson geometry, the study of foliations, and in the theory of dynamical systems. Lie algebroids provide a way to describe the infinitesimal symmetry of a manifold in a coherent algebraic framework.
