A notion of an algebroid - a generalization of a Lie algebroid structure is introduced. We show that many objects of the differential calculus on a manifold M associated with the canonical Lie algebroid structure on T^M can be obtained in…
We propose a new class of sigma models based on Courant sigma models. We refer to these models as gauged Courant sigma models (GCSMs). By introducing additional gauge symmetries, such as those associated with a Lie group, a Lie groupoid (or…
A complex Lie algebroid is a complex vector bundle over a smooth (real) manifold M with a bracket on sections and an anchor to the complexified tangent bundle of M which satisfy the usual Lie algebroid axioms. A proposal is made here to…
In this paper, we construct a bar-cobar adjunction and a Koszul duality theory for protoperads, which are an operadic type notion encoding faithfully some categories of bialgebras with diagonal symmetries, like double Lie algebras (DLie).…
We suggest a new action for a ``dual'' gravity in a stringy $R$, $Q$ flux background. The construction is based on degree-$2$ graded symplectic geometry with a homological vector field. The structure we consider is non-canonical and…
In this paper we introduce multiplicative Dirac structures on Lie groupoids, providing a unified framework to study both multiplicative Poisson bivectors (i.e., Poisson group(oid)s) and multiplicative closed 2-forms (e.g., symplectic…
Motivated by the universal obstruction to the deformation quantization of Poisson structures in infinite dimensions we introduce the notion of quantizable odd Lie bialgebra. The main result of the paper is a construction of a highly…
We develop a theory of T-duality for transitive Courant algebroids. We show that T-duality between transitive Courant algebroids E\rightarrow M and \tilde{E}\rightarrow \tilde{M} induces a map between the spaces of sections of the…
We introduce the category of generalized Courant algebroids and show that it admits a free object on any anchored vector bundle. The free Courant algebroid is built from two components: the generalized Courant algebroid associated to a…
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…
The Courant bracket defined originally on the sections of the vector bundle $TM \oplus T^*M \to M$ is extended to the direct sum of the 1-jet vector bundle and its dual. The extended bracket allows to interpret many structures encountered…
Reductions of higher tangent bundles of Lie groupoids provide natural examples of geometric structures which we would like to call higher algebroids. Such objects can be also constructed abstractly starting from an arbitrary almost Lie…
We define a higher analogue of Dirac structures on a manifold M. Under a regularity assumption, higher Dirac structures can be described by a foliation and a (not necessarily closed, non-unique) differential form on M, and are equivalent to…
We generalize Hansen--Strobl's definition of $H$-twisted Courant algebroid such that the twist $H$ of the Jacobi identity is a 4-form in the kernel of the anchor map and is closed under a naturally occurring exterior covariant derivative.…
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…
In this review article, first we give the concrete formulas of representations and cohomologies of associative algebras, Lie algebras, pre-Lie algebras, Leibniz algebras and 3-Lie algebras and some of their strong homotopy analogues. Then…
This paper provides an extensive study of the homotopy theory of types of algebras with units, like unital associative algebras or unital commutative algebras for instance. To this purpose, we endow the Koszul dual category of curved…
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.…
Commuting pairs of algebraic structures on a set have been studied by several authors and may be described equivalently as algebras for the tensor product of Lawvere theories, or more basically as certain bifunctors that here we call bifold…
For any transversal-Courant algebroid $E$ on a foliated manifold $(M,\mathcal{F})$, and for any choice of a decomposition $TM=T\mathcal{F}\oplus Q$, we construct a Courant algebroid structure on $T\mathcal{F}\oplus T^*\mathcal{F}\oplus E$.
