Courant algebroid and Lie bialgebroid contractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contractions of Leibniz algebras and Courant algebroids by means of (1,1)-tensors are introduced and studied. An appropriate version of Nijenhuis tensors leads to natural deformations of Dirac structures and Lie bialgebroids. One recovers presymplectic-Nijenhuis structures, PoissonNijenhuis structures, and triangular Lie bialgebroids as particular examples. MSC 2000: Primary 17B99; Secondary 17B62, 53C15, 53D17.

Q-algebroids and Their Cohomology
A Q-algebroid is a Lie superalgebroid equipped with a compatible homological vector field and is the infinitesimal object corresponding to a Q-groupoid. We associate to every Q-algebroid a double complex. As a special case, we define the BRST model of a Lie algebroid, which generalizes the BRST model for equivariant cohomology. We extend to this setting the Mathai-Quillen-Kalkman isomorphism of...
متن کاملModular Classes of Loday Algebroids
We introduce the concept of Loday algebroids, a generalization of Courant algebroids. We define the naive cohomology and modular class of a Loday algebroid, and we show that the modular class of the double of a Lie bialgebroid vanishes. For Courant algebroids, we describe the relation between the naive and standard cohomologies and we conjecture that they are isomorphic when the Courant algebro...
متن کاملDeformation quantization and quantum groupoids
It is shown that a quantum groupoid (or a QUE algebroid, i.e., deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebroid) naturally gives rise to a Lie bialgebroid as a classical limit. The converse question, i.e., the quantization problem, is raised, and it is proved for all regular triangular Lie bialgebroids. For a Poisson manifold P , the existence of a star-product is shown to be ...
متن کاملDouble Lie algebroids and representations up to homotopy
Weshow that a double Lie algebroid, togetherwith a chosen decomposition, is equivalent to a pair of 2-term representations up tohomotopy satisfying compatibility conditions which extend the notion of matched pair of Lie algebroids. We discuss in detail the double Lie algebroids arising from the tangent bundle of a Lie algebroid and the cotangent bundle of a Lie bialgebroid.
متن کاملOmni-lie Algebroids *
A generalized Courant algebroid structure is defined on the direct sum bundle DE ⊕ JE, where DE and JE are the gauge Lie algebroid and the jet bundle of a vector bundle E respectively. Such a structure is called an omni-Lie algebroid since it is reduced to the omni-Lie algebra introduced by A.Weinstein if the base manifold is a point. We prove that any Lie algebroid structure on E is characteri...
