Abstract

We introduce the notion of G-algebroid, generalising both Lie and Courant algebroids, as well as the algebroids used in En(n)×R+E_{n(n)}\times\mathbb{R}^+ exceptional generalised geometry for n{3,,6}n\in\{3,\dots,6\}. Focusing on the exceptional case, we prove a classification of "exact" algebroids and translate the related classification of Leibniz parallelisable spaces into a tractable algebraic problem. After discussing the general notion of Poisson-Lie duality, we show that the Poisson-Lie U-duality is compatible with the equations of motion of supergravity.
