We introduce the notion of omni-Lie 2-algebra, which is a categorification of Weinstein's omni-Lie algebras. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict Lie 2-algebra structures on 2-sub-vector spaces of a 2-vector…
We consider the space of bilinear forms on a complex N-dimensional vector space endowed with the quadratic Poisson bracket studied in our previous paper arXiv:1012.5251. We classify all possible quadratic brackets on the set of pairs of…
We define a Courant bracket on an associative algebra using the theory of Hochschild homology, and we introduce the notion of Dirac algebra. We show that the bracket of an omni-Lie algebra is quite a kind of Courant bracket.
A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…
We introduce the notion of omni-Lie superalgebra as a super version of the omni-Lie algebra introduced by Weinstein. This algebraic structure gives a nontrivial example of Leibniz superalgebra and Lie 2-superalgebra. We prove that there is…
This paper proves the isomorphic criterion theorem for (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras, and gives a complete classification of (n+1)-dimensional n-Lie algebras and (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of…
In this paper, we introduce a $\{\lambda_{1\to n-1}\}$-bracket and a distribution notion of an $n$-Lie conformal algebra. For any $n$-Lie conformal algebra $R$, there exists a series of associated infinite-dimensional linearly compact…
We give a complete classification of (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$, and provide a isomorphic criterion theorem of (n+2)-dimensional n-Lie algebras.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of an omni $n$-Lie algebra and show that they are linearization of higher analogues of standard Courant algebroids. We also introduce the notion of a nonabelian omni $n$-Lie algebra and show that they…
The universal enveloping algebra $\mathscr{U}$ of a two-dimensional nonabelian Lie algebra $L$ is a Lie algebra itself with the commutator as Lie bracket. There exists a presentation of $\mathscr{U}$ with generators $x,y$ and relation…
The dual Lie bialgebra of a certain ``quasitriangular'' Lie bialgebra structure on the Heisenberg Lie algebra determines a (non-compact) Poisson--Lie group G. The compatible Poisson bracket on G is non-linear, but it can still be realized…
Derived brackets provide a mechanism for generating algebraic structures from graded Lie superalgebras, with applications in Poisson geometry, mathematical physics, and the theory of algebroids. In this paper, we present a complete…
Results about the following classes of finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero are presented: anisotropic (i.e., Lie algebras for which each adjoint operator is semisimple), regular (i.e., Lie algebras in which…
A thorough analysis of Lie super-bialgebra structures on Lie super-algebras osp(1|2) and super-e(2) is presented. Combined technique of computer algebraic computations and a subsequent identification of equivalent structures is applied. In…
In his study of Dirac structures, a notion which includes both Poisson structures and closed 2-forms, T. Courant introduced a bracket on the direct sum of vector fields and 1-forms. This bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity except…
Let $A=F[x,y]$ be the polynomial algebra on two variables $x,y$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic zero. Under the Poisson bracket, $A$ is equipped with a natural Lie algebra structure. It is proven that the maximal…
We define contragredient Lie algebras in symmetric categories, generalizing the construction of Lie algebras of the form $\mathfrak{g}(A)$ for a Cartan matrix $A$ from the category of vector spaces to an arbitrary symmetric tensor category.…
We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over…
Omni-Lie algebroids are generalizations of Alan Weinstein's omni-Lie algebras. A Dirac structure in an omni-Lie algebroid $\dev E\oplus \jet E$ is necessarily a Lie algebroid together with a representation on $E$. We study the geometry…
Given a symmetric non degenerated bilinear form b on a vector space V, G. Pinczon and R. Ushirobira defined a bracket {,} on the space of multilinear skewsymmetric forms on V. With this bracket, the quadratic Lie algebra structure equation…
