Manin triples for double Lie bialgebroids
Ana Carolina Mançur
TL;DR
This work generalizes the Manin triple paradigm to double Lie bialgebroids by introducing LA-Courant algebroids and LA-Manin triples. It proves that double Lie bialgebroids are in one-to-one correspondence with LA-Courant algebroids equipped with two complementary LA-Dirac structures (via the Drinfeld double), and conversely that an LA-Manin triple yields a double Lie bialgebroid. A key technical device is the relation $oldsymbol{ ext Pi_A}$ derived from linear Poisson geometry, which encodes the LA-Courant compatibility conditions. The findings also establish a bridge between infinitesimal and global double structures by linking Drinfeld doubles to CA-groupoids through differentiation and integration, offering a unified framework for double Courant-type objects and their representations. Collectively, the results unify double Lie bialgebroids, LA-Courant algebroids, and Drinfeld doubles within a coherent Manin-triple perspective with concrete integration/differentiation consequences.
Abstract
We verify that LA-Courant algebroids provide the Manin triple framework for double Lie bialgebroids. Specifically, we establish a correspondence between double Lie bialgebroids and LA-Manin triples, i.e., LA-Courant algebroids equipped with a pair of complementary LA-Dirac structures. As an application, LA-Courant algebroids and CA-groupoids given by Drinfeld doubles are shown to correspond via integration and differentiation.
