Modular vector fields and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras

Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach (2000)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We show that a modular class arises from the existence of two generating operators for a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. In particular, for every triangular Lie bialgebroid (A,P) such that its top exterior power is a trivial line bundle, there is a section of the vector bundle A whose d P -cohomology class is well-defined. We give simple proofs of its properties. The modular class of an orientable Poisson manifold is an example. We analyse the relationships between generating operators of the...

Poisson–Lie sigma models on Drinfel’d double

Jan Vysoký, Ladislav Hlavatý (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Poisson sigma models represent an interesting use of Poisson manifolds for the construction of a classical field theory. Their definition in the language of fibre bundles is shown and the corresponding field equations are derived using a coordinate independent variational principle. The elegant form of equations of motion for so called Poisson-Lie groups is derived. Construction of the Poisson-Lie group corresponding to a given Lie bialgebra is widely known only for coboundary Lie bialgebras....

Linearization and star products

Veronique Chloup (2000)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to give an overview concerning the problem of linearization of Poisson structures, more precisely we give results concerning Poisson-Lie groups and we apply those cohomological techniques to star products.

Poisson Lie groups and their relations to quantum groups

Janusz Grabowski (1995)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The notion of Poisson Lie group (sometimes called Poisson Drinfel'd group) was first introduced by Drinfel'd [1] and studied by Semenov-Tian-Shansky [7] to understand the Hamiltonian structure of the group of dressing transformations of a completely integrable system. The Poisson Lie groups play an important role in the mathematical theories of quantization and in nonlinear integrable equations. The aim of our lecture is to point out the naturality of this notion and to present basic...

Some Remarks on Dirac Structures and Poisson Reductions

Zhang-Ju Liu (2000)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Dirac structures are characterized in terms of their characteristic pairs defined in this note and then Poisson reductions are discussed from the point of view of Dirac structures.
