We develop the theory of Poisson and Dirac manifolds of compact types, a broad generalization in Poisson and Dirac geometry of compact Lie algebras and Lie groups. We establish key structural results, including local normal forms, canonical…
We employ the Poisson-Lie group of pseudo-difference operators to define lattice analogs of classical $W_m$-algebras. We then show that the so-constructed algebras coincide with the ones given by discrete Drinfeld-Sokolov type reduction.
Using a Lax pair based on twisted affine $sl(2,R)$ Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras, we deduce a r-matrix formulation of two dimensional reduced vacuum Einstein's equations. Whereas the fundamental Poisson brackets are non-ultralocal, they…
In this paper we study the modular classes of Dirac manifolds and of Dirac maps, and we discuss their basic properties. We apply these results to explain the relationship between the modular classes of the various structures involved in the…
We put the Adler-Gelfand-Dickey approach to classical W-algebras in the framework of Poisson vertex algebras. We show how to recover the bi-Poisson structure of the KP hierarchy, together with its generalizations and reduction to the N-th…
We suggest two explicit descriptions of the Poisson q-W algebras which are Poisson algebras of regular functions on certain algebraic group analogues of the Slodowy transversal slices to adjoint orbits in a complex semisimple Lie algebra g.…
There is a standard way to define two symplectic (hamiltonian) structures, the first and second Gelfand-Dikii brackets, on the space of ordinary linear differential operators of order $m$, $L = -d^m + U_1 d^{m-1} + U_2 d^{m-2} + \ldots +…
The degenerations of Poisson-type algebras are studied in the following varieties in dimension two: Leibniz--Poisson algebras, transposed Leibniz--Poisson algebras, Novikov--Poisson algebras, commutative pre-Lie algebras, anti-pre-Lie…
The Poisson bracket algebra corresponding to the second Hamiltonian structure of a large class of generalized KdV and mKdV integrable hierarchies is carefully analysed. These algebras are known to have conformal properties, and their…
In this work we present a number of generalizations of Wick's theorems on integrals with Gaussian weight to a larger class of weights which we call subgaussian. Examples of subgaussian contractions are that of Kac-Moody or Virasoro type,…
The deformation theory of a Dirac structure is controlled by a differential graded Lie algebra which depends on the choice of an auxiliary transversal Dirac structure; if the transversal is not involutive, one obtains an $L_\infty$ algebra…
We study the Zariski cancellation problem for Poisson algebras in three variables. In particular, we prove those with Poisson bracket either being quadratic or derived from a Lie algebra are cancellative. We also use various Poisson algebra…
A systematic construction of super W-algebras in terms of the WZNW model based on a super Lie algebra is presented. These are shown to be the symmetry structure of the super Toda models, which can be obtained from the WZNW theory by…
First, we derive an explicit formula for the Poisson bracket of the classical finite W-algebra W^{fin}(g,f), the algebra of polynomial functions on the Slodowy slice associated to a simple Lie algebra g and its nilpotent element f. On the…
The V-algebras are the non-local matrix generalization of the well-known W-algebras. Their classical realizations are given by the second Poisson brackets associated with the matrix pseudodifferential operators. In this paper, by using the…
In this paper we realize the supersymmetric classical $W$-algebras $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n+1|n))$ and $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n|n))$ as differential algebras generated by the coefficients of a monic…
We classify in this paper Poisson structures on modules over semisimple Lie algebras arising from classical r-matrices. We then study their quantizations and the relation to classical invariant theory.
We define Poisson structures on certain transversal slices to conjugacy classes in complex simple algebraic groups introduced in arXiv:0809.0205. These slices are associated to the elements of the Weyl group, and the Poisson structures on…
A Dirac structure is a Lagrangian subbundle of a Courant algebroid, $L\subset\mathbb{E}$, which is involutive with respect to the Courant bracket. In particular, $L$ inherits the structure of a Lie algebroid. In this paper, we introduce the…
In analogy to the KP theory, the second Poisson structure for the dispersionless KP hierarchy can be defined on the space of commutative pseudodifferential operators $L=p^n+\sum_{j=-\infty}^{n-1}u_j p^j$. The reduction of the Poisson…
