In this paper, we give the categorification of Leibniz algebras, which is equivalent to 2-term sh Leibniz algebras. They reveal the algebraic structure of omni-Lie 2-algebras introduced in \cite{omniLie2} as well as twisted Courant…
We introduce and study a class of Lie algebroids associated to faithful modules which is motivated by the notion of cotangent Lie algebroids of Poisson manifolds. We also give a classification of transitive Lie algebroids and describe…
We study integrable systems on double Lie algebras in absence of Ad-invariant bilinear form by passing to the semidirect product with the $\tau $-representation. We show that in this stage a natural Ad-invariant bilinear form does exist,…
We formulate the canonical structure of Yang--Mills theory in terms of Poisson brackets of gauge invariant observables analogous to Wilson loops. This algebra is non--trivial and tractable in a light--cone formulation. For U(N) gauge…
We develop a curved Koszul duality theory for algebras presented by quadratic-linear-constant relations over unital versions of binary quadratic operads. As an application, we study Poisson $n$-algebras given by polynomial functions on a…
Continuous formal deformations of the Poisson superbracket defined on compactly supported smooth functions on n-dimensional space taking values in a Grassmann algebra with m generating elements are described up to an equivalence…
A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…
Poisson actions of Poisson Lie groups have an interesting and rich geometric structure. We will generalize some of this structure to Dirac actions of Dirac Lie groups. Among other things, we extend a result of Jiang-Hua-Lu, which states…
We introduce a general theory of twisting algebraic structures based on actions of a bialgebra. These twists are closely related to algebraic deformations and also to the theory of quasi-triangular bialgebras. In particular, a deformation…
These notes present an introduction to an analytic version of deformation quantization. The central point is to study algebras of physical observables and their irreducible representations. In classical mechanics one deals with real Poisson…
As one knows, for every Poisson manifold $M$ there exists a formal noncommutative deformation of the algebra of functions on it; it is determined in a unique way (up to an equivalence relation) by the given Poisson bivector. Let a Lie…
These letters, written in 1998-2000, contain various basic results about Courant algebroids (CAs), such as classification of exact and transitive CAs, reduction of CAs, description in terms of symplectic dg manifolds, a canonical generating…
We introduce M-theoretic generalisations of the notion of (exact) Courant algebroid, and summarise their connections to generalised geometry, U-duality, and the physics of strings, membranes, and fivebranes. This is a summary of a paper…
In this series of two papers we will generalise the concept of extending a Lie algebroid by a Lie algebra bundle, leading to a notion of extending a Lie algebroid by another Lie algebroid whose orbits lie in the orbits of the former…
The correspondence between Poisson homogeneous spaces over a Poisson-Lie group $G$ and Lagrangian Lie subalgebras of the classical double $D({\mathfrak g})$ is revisited and explored in detail for the case in which ${\mathfrak…
We develop a geometric approach to Poisson electrodynamics, that is, the semi-classical limit of noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theory. Our framework is based on an integrating symplectic groupoid for the underlying Poisson brackets, which we…
We call a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ strongly rigid if its universal enveloping algebra $\Ug$ is rigid as an associative algebra, i.e. every formal associative deformation is equivalent to the trivial deformation.…
In this paper, we construct a homotopy Poisson algebra of degree 3 associated to a split Lie 2-algebroid, by which we give a new approach to characterize a split Lie 2-bialgebroid. We develop the differential calculus associated to a split…
Let L be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. We provide necessary and also some sufficient conditions in order for its Poisson center and semi-center to be polynomial algebras over…
Given a double vector bundle $D\to M$, we define a bigraded `Weil algebra' $\mathcal{W}(D)$, which `realizes' the algebra of smooth functions on the supermanifold $D[1,1]$. We describe in detail the relations between the Weil algebras of…
