A -module is called a Poisson module if it is endowed with a Lie algebra action that satisfies the Leibniz rules:
An -almost paracontact metric structure is called an - -paracontact metric structure if
(4.6) |
A manifold equipped with an - -paracontact structure is said to be - -paracontact metric manifold .
Let be a group. A -module is a pair where is an abelian group and a group homomorphism. A map of -modules is a group homomorphism such that
for all and . The category of -modules is denoted by -mod.
A -Hilbert -module is a Hilbert -module with a given continuous action
such that

The quaternions ( for short after Hamilton, their discoverer) are the elements of the vector space with basis . Addition is defined by vector addition, and multiplication follows the rules for scalar multiplication by real numbers, and:
and
The non-negative function is a pseudo-measure for the LOCC , if:
Suppose is a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid and is a closed subgroupoid with a Haar system. Let . We define the imprimitivity groupoid to be the quotient of by where acts diagonally via right translation. We give a groupoid structure with the operations
A binary Hermitian form over is a map of the form
where and such that is positive definite.
