The Weitzenböck Type Curvature Operator for Singular Distributions

We study geometry of a Riemannian manifold endowed with a singular (or regular) distribution, determined as an image of the tangent bundle under smooth endomorphisms. Following construction of an almost Lie algebroid on a vector bundle, we define the modified covariant and exterior derivatives and t...
