Remarks on the Definition of a Courant Algebroid

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v4 Symplectic Geometry

Abstract

The notion of Courant algebroid was introduced by Liu, Weinstein and Xu in 1997. Its definition consists of five axioms and an assumption for a derivation. It is shown that two of the axioms and the assumption for the derivation follow from the rest of the axioms.
