nLab universal enveloping algebroid

The construction of a universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra can be generalized in several ways. One of them is to generalize it to Lie algebroids and, slightly more general, to the Lie-Rinehardt algebra?s. This leads to the universal enveloping algebroids. Some standard theorems like the PBW theorem generalize to some extend to this context.
