Abstract
We study a new kind of Courant algebroid on Poisson manifolds, which is a variant of the generalized tangent bundle in the sense that the roles of tangent and the cotangent bundle are exchanged. Its symmetry is a semidirect product of -diffeomorphisms and -transformations. It is a starting point of an alternative version of the generalized geometry based on the cotangent bundle, such as Dirac structures and generalized Riemannian structures. In particular, -fluxes are formulated as a twisting of this Courant algebroid by a local -transformations, in the same way as -fluxes are the twist of the generalized tangent bundle. It is a -vector classified by Poisson -cohomology and it appears in a twisted bracket and in an exact sequence.
