Surveying locally homogeneous almost-Hermitian spaces with formulas for curvature.
Generalized Schouten, Froelicher-Nijenhuis and Froelicher-Richardson brackets are defined for an arbitrary Lie algebroid. Tangent and cotangent lifts of Lie algebroids are introduced and discussed and the behaviour of the related graded Lie brackets under these lifts is studied. In the case of the canonical Lie algebro…
This research introduces Lie brackets on spaces of biderivations in Lie algebras.
We survey the many instances of derived bracket construction in differential geometry, Lie algebroid and Courant algebroid theories, and their properties. We recall and compare the constructions of Buttin and Vinogradov, and we prove that the Vinogradov bracket is the skew-symmetrization of a derived bracket. Odd (resp…
The study explores Lie superalgebras constructed from Lie algebras using Schouten-like brackets.
Formula derived for Lie algebra E8's bracket.
A Lie bracket defined on the linear span of the free homotopy classes of undirected closed curves was discovered in stages passing through Thurston's earthquake deformations, Wolpert's corresponding calculations with Hamiltonian vector fields and Goldman's algebraic treatment of the latter leading to a Lie bracket on t…
We investigate some infinite dimensional Lie algebras and their associated Poisson structures which arise from a Lie group action on a manifold. If is a Lie group, $\g$ its Lie algebra and is a manifold on which acts, then the set of smooth maps from to $\g$ has at least two Lie algebra structures, both…
Paper traces origins of graded Lie brackets theory.
We show that every Lie algebra is equipped with a natural -variant tensor field, the "canonical endomorphism field", naturally determined by the Lie structure, and satisfying a certain Nijenhuis bracket condition. This observation may be considered as complementary to the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau theorem on symp…
A general construction of an sh Lie algebra from a homological resolution of a Lie algebra is given. It is applied to the space of local functionals equipped with a Poisson bracket, induced by a bracket for local functions along the lines suggested by Gel'fand, Dickey and Dorfman. In this way, higher order maps are con…
Study shows limitations of Lie bracket commutation for nonsmooth vector fields.
We define covariant Lie derivatives acting on vector-valued forms on Lie algebroids and study their properties. This allows us to obtain a concise formula for the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket on Lie algebroids.
Unified Lie structures in homotopy and isotopy calculus.
Let G be a Lie group. On the trivial principal G-bundle over the Lie algebra of G there is a natural connection whose curvature is the Lie bracket. The exponential map is given by parallel transport of this connection. If G is the diffeomorphism group of a manifold, the curvature of the natural connection is the Lie br…
We introduce and study a construction of higher derived brackets generated by a (not necessarily inner) derivation of a Lie superalgebra. Higher derived brackets generated by an element of a Lie superalgebra were introduced in our earlier work. Examples of higher derived brackets naturally appear in geometry and mathem…
Euler's equations for a two-dimensional system can be written in Hamiltonian form, where the Poisson bracket is the Lie-Poisson bracket associated to the Lie algebra of divergence free vector fields. We show how to derive the Poisson brackets of 2d hydrodynamics of ideal fluids as a reduction from the one associated to…
We introduce a new cohomology for Lie algebroids, and prove that it provides a differential graded Lie algebra which ``controls'' deformations of the structure bracket of the algebroid. We also have a closer look at various special cases such as Lie algebras, Poisson manifolds, foliations, Lie algebra actions on manifo…
Study examines Lie algebroids with homological sections, generalizing Q-manifolds and Lie superalgebras.
Jacobi algebroids, that is graded Lie brackets on the Grassmann algebra associated with a vector bundle which satisfy a property similar to that of the Jacobi brackets, are introduced. They turn out to be equivalent to generalized Lie algebroids in the sense of Iglesias and Marrero and can be viewed also as odd Jacobi …
We extend the Nambu bracket to 1-forms. Following the Poisson-Lie case, we define Nambu-Lie groups as Lie groups endowed with a multiplicative Nambu structure. A Lie group G with a Nambu structure P is a Nambu-Lie group iff P=0 at the unit and the Nambu bracket of left (right) invariant forms is left (right) invariant.…
The space of vector-valued forms on any manifold is a graded Lie algebra with respect to the Frolicher-Nijenhuis bracket. In this paper we consider multiplicative vector-valued forms on Lie groupoids and show that they naturally form a graded Lie subalgebra. Along the way, we discuss various examples and different char…
Derives equations for interacting Lie-Poisson systems using 2-cocycle extensions.
It is shown that two definitions for an exterior differential in superspace, giving the same exterior calculus, yet lead to different results when applied to the Poisson bracket. A prescription for the transition with the help of these exterior differentials from the given Poisson bracket of definite Grassmann parity t…
First we recall homology groups of prer Lie superalgebras. Then introducing double weighted chain spaces, we deal with pre Lie superalgebra of multi-vector fields with polynomial coefficients on n-dimensional number space. The bracket is Schouten bracket. We have several results about Euler number and Betti numbers of …
New action functionals for sigma models on Jacobi bundles.
In the eighties Goldman discovered a Lie algebra structure on the vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented curves on an oriented surface. The Lie bracket [a,b] is defined as the signed sum over the intersection points of a and b of the loop product of at the intersection points. If one of the cla…
We show that representations up to homotopy can be differentiated in a functorial way. A van Est type isomorphism theorem is established and used to prove a conjecture of Crainic and Moerdijk on deformations of Lie brackets.
We introduce a stochastic model for noisy vector fields on manifolds.
It is shown that the cotangent bundle of a matched pair Lie group is itself a matched pair Lie group. The trivialization of the cotangent bundle of a matched pair Lie group are presented. On the trivialized space, the canonical symplectic two-form and canonical Poisson bracket are explicitly written. Various symplectic…
Natural analogs of Lie brackets on affine bundles are studied, based on natural examples from differential geometry and analytical mechanics. In particular, a close relation to Lie algebroids and, by a sort of duality, to affine analogs of Poisson structures is established as well as affine versions of the complete lif…
Defines and characterizes operators on Lie ∞-algebras with respect to actions.
We introduce G_2-vector fields, Rochesterian 1-forms and Rochesterian vector fields on manifolds with a closed G_2-structure as analogues of symplectic vector fields, Hamiltonian functions and Hamiltonian vector fields respectively, and we show that the spaces of G_2-vector fields and of Rochesterian vector fields are …
Lie n-algebroids and Lie infinity algebroids are usually thought of exclusively in supergeometric or algebraic terms. In this work, we apply the higher derived brackets construction to obtain a geometric description of Lie n-algebroids by means of brackets and anchors. Moreover, we provide a geometric description of mo…
Almost Lie algebroids are generalizations of Lie algebroids, when the Jacobiator is not necessary null. A simple example is given, for which a Lie algebroid bracket or a Courant bundle is not possible for the given anchor, but a natural extension of the bundle and the new anchor allows a Lie algebroid bracket. A cohomo…
The paper extends Lie bracket to noncommutative geometry using differential operators.
We introduce coG_2-vector fields, coRochesterian 2-forms and coRochesterian vector fields on manifolds with a coclosed G_2-structure as a continuous of work from [15], and we show that the spaces of coG_2-vector fields and of coRochesterian vector fields are Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra of vector fields with the …
We provide a generalization of the Lie algebra of conformal Killing vector fields to conformal Killing-Yano forms. A new Lie bracket for conformal Killing-Yano forms that corresponds to slightly modified Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket of differential forms is proposed. We show that conformal Killing-Yano forms satisfy a gr…
New algebraic structures called cyclic Lie-Rinehart algebras are defined.
We define solitons for the generalized Ricci flow on an exact Courant algebroid, building on the definitions of M. Garcia-Fernandez and J. Streets. We then define a family of flows for left-invariant Dorfman brackets on an exact Courant algebroid over a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, generalizing the bracket flo…
In the mid eighties Goldman proved an embedded curve could be isotoped to not intersect a closed geodesic if and only if their Lie bracket (as defined in that work) vanished. Goldman asked for a topological proof and about extensions of the conclusion to curves with self-intersection. Turaev, in the late eighties, aske…
The Lie algebroids are generalization of the Lie algebras. They arise, in particular, as a mathematical tool in investigations of dynamical systems with the first class constraints. Here we consider canonical symmetries of Hamiltonian systems generated by a special class of Lie algebroids. The ``coordinate part'' of th…
New combinatorial approach to Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra using cyclic word partitions.
Abstract sketches historical development of Lie brackets, crossed modules, and Lie-Rinehart algebras.
Enhances Hamiltonian systems stability through generalized double bracket vector fields.
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 on certain subspaces. In this paper we systematize the properties of this bracket…
It is a classical fact in Poisson geometry that the cotangent bundle of a Poisson manifold has the structure of a Lie algebroid. Manifestations of this structure are the Lichnerowicz differential on multivector fields (calculating Poisson cohomology) and the Koszul bracket of differential forms. "Raising indices" by th…
The paper constructs compatible Poisson brackets on gl(N).
