Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and $A$ be a finitely generated associative $\Bbbk$-algebra, in general noncommutative. One assigns to $A$ a sequence of commutative $\Bbbk$-algebras $\mathcal{O}(A,d)$,…
We reformulate the Hamiltonian form of bosonic eleven dimensional supergravity in terms of an object that unifies the three-form and the metric. For the case of four spatial dimensions, the duality group is manifest and the metric and…
We prove that the cotangent of a double Lie groupoid S has itself a double groupoid structure with sides the duals of associated Lie algebroids, and double base the dual of the Lie algebroid of the core of S. Using this, we prove a result…
In this paper, we study the algebraic properties of the higher analogues of Courant algebroid structures on the direct sum bundle $TM\oplus\wedge^nT^*M$ for an $m$-dimensional manifold. As an application, we revisit Nambu-Poisson structures…
We consider the Alexander polynomial of a plane algebraic curve twisted by a linear representation. We show that it divides the product of the polynomials of the singularity links, for unitary representations. Moreover, their quotient is…
We reexamine different examples of reduction chains $\mathfrak{g} \supset \mathfrak{g}'$ of Lie algebras in order to show how the polynomials determining the commutant with respect to the subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}'$ leads to polynomial…
In this paper, we show that associated to any coisotropic Cartan geometry there is a twisted Courant algebroid. This includes in particular parabolic geometries. Using this twisted Courant structure, we give some new results about the…
We study Lie bialgebroid crossed modules which are pairs of Lie algebroid crossed modules in duality that canonically give rise to Lie bialgebroids. A one-one correspondence between such Lie bialgebroid crossed modules and co-quadratic…
We present the most general polynomial Lie algebra generated by a second order integral of motion and one of order M, construct the Casimir operator, and show how the Jacobi identity provides the existence of a realization in terms of…
We study the geometric and algebraic properties of the twisted Poisson structures on Lie algebroids, leading to a definition of their modular class and to an explicit determination of a representative of the modular class, in particular in…
We study Lagrangian and orthogonal splittings\textbf{\ }of quadratic vector spaces establishing an equivalence with complex product structures. Then we show that a Manin triple equipped with generalized metric $\mathcal{G}+% \mathcal{B}$…
In this work we solve the problem of providing a Morita invariant definition of Lie and Courant algebroids over Lie groupoids. By relying on supergeometry, we view these structures as instances of vector fields on graded groupoids which are…
We introduce conformal Courant algebroids, a mild generalization of Courant algebroids in which only a conformal structure rather than a bilinear form is assumed. We introduce exact conformal Courant algebroids and show they are classified…
We show that the Poisson centre of truncated maximal parabolic subalgebras of a simple Lie algebra of type B, D and E_6 is a polynomial algebra. In roughly half of the cases the polynomiality of the Poisson centre was already known by a…
In recent years, a close connection between supergravity, string effective actions and generalized geometry has been discovered that typically involves a doubling of geometric structures. We investigate this relation from the point of view…
The purpose of this work is to study Lie superalgebroid structures on the space of superdifferential $1$-forms over the supermanifolds whose superfunctions are the differential forms on its underlying manifold. These superalgbroids are…
We study the algebra of local functionals equipped with a Poisson bracket. We discuss the underlying algebraic structures related to a version of the Courant-Dorfman algebra. As a main illustration, we consider the functionals over the…
Courant algebroids provide a useful mathematical tool (not only) in string theory. It is thus important to define and examine their morphisms. To some extent, this was done before using an analogue of canonical relations known from…
On the level of Lie algebras, the contraction procedure is a method to create a new Lie algebra from a given Lie algebra by rescaling generators and letting the scaling parameter tend to zero. One of the most well-known examples is the…
We study the existence of Hamiltonian semisprays on Lie algebroids. This work is motivated by a problem studied by Vaisman for tangent bundles, and we extend this question to the setting of arbitrary Lie algebroids and provide a general…
