On Regular Courant Algebroids
For any regular Courant algebroid, we construct a characteristic class à la Chern-Weil. This intrinsic invariant of the Courant algebroid is a degree-3 class in its naive cohomology. When the Courant algebroid is exact, it reduces to the Ševera class (in H DR(M)). On the other hand, when the Courant algebroid is a quadratic Lie algebra g, it coincides with the class of the Cartan 3-form (in H(g...
متن کاملHypercomplex Structures on Courant Algebroids
In this note, we prove the equivalence of two characterizations of hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids, one in terms of Nijenhuis concomitants and the other in terms of (almost) torsionfree connections for which each of the three complex structures is parallel. A Courant algebroid [4] consists of a vector bundle π : E → M , a nondegenerate symmetric pairing 〈, 〉 on the fibers of π, a ...
متن کاملTransitive Courant algebroids
We express any Courant algebroid bracket by means of a metric connection, and construct a Courant algebroid structure on any orthogonal, Whitney sum E⊕C where E is a given Courant algebroid and C is a flat, pseudo-Euclidean vector bundle. Then, we establish the general expression of the bracket of a transitive Courant algebroid, that is, a Courant algebroid with a surjective anchor, and describ...
متن کاملCourant Algebroids from Categorified Symplectic Geometry
In categorified symplectic geometry, one studies the categorified algebraic and geometric structures that naturally arise on manifolds equipped with a closed nondegenerate (n + 1)-form. The case relevant to classical string theory is when n = 2 and is called ‘2-plectic geometry’. Just as the Poisson bracket makes the smooth functions on a symplectic manifold into a Lie algebra, there is a Lie 2...
متن کاملLeibniz Algebras, Courant Algebroids, and Multiplications on Reductive Homogeneous Spaces
We show that the skew-symmetrized product on every Leibniz algebra E can be realized on a reductive complement to a subalgebra in a Lie algebra. As a consequence, we construct a nonassociative multiplication on E which, when E is a Lie algebra, is derived from the integrated adjoint representation. We apply this construction to realize the bracket operations on the sections of Courant algebroid...
