AV-Courant algebroids and generalized CR structures

Differential Geometry 2019-08-15 v2

Abstract

We construct a generalization of Courant algebroids which are classified by the third cohomology group H3(A,V)H^3(A,V), where AA is a Lie Algebroid, and VV is an AA-module. We see that both Courant algebroids and E1(M)\mathcal{E}^1(M) structures are examples of them. Finally we introduce generalized CR structures on a manifold, which are a generalization of generalized complex structures, and show that every CR structure and contact structure is an example of a generalized CR structure.
