TL;DR
NL bialgebras fuse Poisson-Nijenhuis ideas with Lie bialgebra theory by equipping a Lie bialgebra with a Nijenhuis operator on $\mathfrak{g}$ and studying compatibility to generate a hierarchy of deformed bialgebras. The work develops three deformation avenues (deformed brackets, deformed $1$-cochains, and double deformations) and identifies exact criteria under which each yields a valid Lie bialgebra, including coboundary and $r$-matrix perspectives. An explicit Euler-top example demonstrates a weak NL bialgebra structure underlying $\mathfrak{so}(3)$ dynamics and its associated linear Poisson brackets. The results tie integrable dynamics to an algebraic framework linking NL bialgebras with Poisson-Lie groups and quantum groups, suggesting new avenues for constructing integrable models and their quantizations.
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of (weak) NL bialgebras. These structures consist of a Lie bialgebra $(\g,[\cdot,\cdot],δ)$ equipped with a Nijenhuis structure on the Lie algebra $(\g,[\cdot,\cdot])$, satisfying specific compatibility conditions. This construction is analogous to Poisson-Nijenhuis structures studied in the context of integrable systems. We further investigate NL bialgebras that generate a compatible hierarchy of bialgebras, both on the original Lie algebra and its deformed versions, through the Nijenhuis structure of any order. Additionally, we demonstrate that the underlying algebraic structure of a particular case of the Euler-top system is a weak NL bialgebra.
