Matched pairs of Courant algebroids

We introduce the notion of matched pairs of Courant algebroids and give several examples arising naturally from complex manifolds, holomorphic Courant algebroids, and certain regular Courant algebroids. We also consider the matched sum of two Dirac subbundles, one in each of two Courant algebroids forming a matched pair.     

Modular classes of Loday algebroids

We introduce the concept of Loday algebroids, a generalization of Courant algebroids. We define the naive cohomology and modular class of a Loday algebroid, and we show that the modular class of the double of a Lie bialgebroid vanishes. For Courant algebroids, we describe the relation between the naive and standard cohomologies and we conjecture that they are isomorphic when the Courant algebroid is transitive.

Hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids

Hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids unify holomorphic symplectic structures and usual hypercomplex structures. In this Note, we prove the equivalence of two characterizations of hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids, one in terms of Nijenhuis concomitants and the other in terms of (almost) torsionfree connections for which each of the three complex structures is parallel.

Lie and Courant algebroids on foliated manifolds

This is an exposition of the subject, which was developed in the author’s papers [19, 20]. Various results from the theory of foliations (cohomology, characteristic classes, deformations, etc.) are extended to subalgebroids of Lie algebroids that generalize the tangent integrable distributions. We also suggest a definition of foliated Courant algebroids and give some corresponding results and constructions.     

Reduction of Courant algebroids and generalized complex structures

We present a theory of reduction for Courant algebroids as well as Dirac structures, generalized complex, and generalized Kähler structures which interpolates between holomorphic reduction of complex manifolds and symplectic reduction. The enhanced symmetry group of a Courant algebroid leads us to define extended actions and a generalized notion of moment map. Key examples of generalized Kähler reduced spaces include new explicit bi-Hermitian metrics on CP².     

Vertex Poisson Algebras Associated with Courant Algebroids

We study relationships between vertex Poisson algebras and Courant algebroids. For any ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n), we show that A ₍₁₎ is a Courant A ₍₀₎-algebroid. On the other hand, for any Courant 𝒜-algebroid ?, we construct an ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n) such that A ₍₀₎ is 𝒜 and the Courant 𝒜-algebroid A ₍₁₎ is isomorphic to ? as a Courant 𝒜-algebroid.     

Reduction of Jacobi manifolds via Dirac structures theory

We first recall some basic definitions and facts about Jacobi manifolds, generalized Lie bialgebroids, generalized Courant algebroids and Dirac structures. We establish an one-one correspondence between reducible Dirac structures of the generalized Lie bialgebroid of a Jacobi manifold (M,Λ,E) for which 1 is an admissible function and Jacobi quotient manifolds of M. We study Jacobi reductions from the point of view of Dirac structures theory and we present some examples and applications.     

Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids

We study Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids in terms of the canonical Poisson bracket on their symplectic realizations. We prove that the Nijenhuis torsion of a skew-symmetric endomorphism N of a Courant algebroid is skewsymmetric if N ² is proportional to the identity, and only in this case when the Courant algebroid is irreducible. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a skewsymmetric endomorphism to give rise to a deformed Courant structure. In the case of the double of a Lie bialgebroid (A, A*), given an endomorphism N of A that defines a skew-symmetric endomorphism N of the double of A, we prove that the torsion ofN is the sum of the torsion of N and that of the transpose of N.     

Foliated Lie and Courant Algebroids

If A is a Lie algebroid over a foliated manifold (M, F){(M, {\mathcal {F}})}, a foliation of A is a Lie subalgebroid B with anchor image TF{T{\mathcal {F}}} and such that A/B is locally equivalent with Lie algebroids over the slice manifolds of F{\mathcal F}. We give several examples and, for foliated Lie algebroids, we discuss the following subjects: the dual Poisson structure and Vaintrob's supervector field, cohomology and deformations of the foliation, integration to a Lie groupoid. In the last section, we define a corresponding notion of a foliation of a Courant algebroid A as a bracket–closed, isotropic subbundle B with anchor image TF{T{\mathcal {F}}} and such that B ^{^} /B{B^{ \bot } /B} is locally equivalent with Courant algebroids over the slice manifolds of F{\mathcal F}. Examples that motivate the definition are given.     

On Exact Courant Algebras

In this note, we will show that exact Courant algebras over a Lie algebra 𝔤 can be characterized via Leibniz 2-cocycles, and the automorphism group of a given exact Courant algebra is in a one-to-one correspondence with first Leibniz cohomology space of 𝔤.     

Hopf cyclic cohomology and Hodge theory for proper actions on complex manifolds

We introduce two Hopf algebroids associated to a proper and holomorphic Lie group action on a complex manifold. We prove that the cyclic cohomology of each Hopf algebroid is equal to the Dolbeault cohomology of invariant differential forms. When the action is cocompact, we develop a generalized complex Hodge theory for the Dolbeault cohomology of invariant differential forms. We prove that every cyclic cohomology class of these two Hopf algebroids can be represented by a generalized harmonic form. This implies that the space of cyclic cohomology of each Hopf algebroid is finite dimensional. As an application of the techniques developed in this paper, we generalize the Serre duality and prove a Kodaira type vanishing theorem.     

Connection colligations on Hilbert bundles

The theory of operator colligations in a Hilbert space is extended to connection colligations on Hilbert bundles. Any invariant subbundle of a Hilbert bundle leads to a decomposition of connection colligation into simpler components. The problem of finding all invariant subbundles of a Hilbert bundle is reduced to a search of subspaces of a fixed Hilbert space which are invariant with respect to the holonomy group of the linear connection.     

Inverse problem for Lagrangian systems on Lie algebroids and applications to reduction by symmetries

The language of Lagrangian submanifolds is used to extend a geometric characterization of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations on tangent bundles to regular Lie algebroids. Since not all closed sections are locally exact on Lie algebroids, the Helmholtz conditions on Lie algebroids are necessary but not sufficient, so they give a weaker definition of the inverse problem. As an application the Helmholtz conditions on Atiyah algebroids are obtained so that the relationship between the inverse problem and the reduced inverse problem by symmetries can be described. Some examples and comparison with previous approaches in the literature are provided.

Maximal line subbundles of stable bundles of rank 2 over an algebraic curve

Let E be a vector bundle of rank 2 over an algebraic curve X of genus g ≥ 2. In this paper, we prove that E is determined by its maximal line subbundles if it is general. By restudying the results of Lange and Narasimhan which relates the maximal line subbundles with the secant varieties of X, we observe that the proof can be reduced to proving some cohomological conditions satisfied by the maximal line subbundles. By noting the similarity between these conditions and the notion of very stable bundles, we get the result for the case when E has Segre invariant s(E) = g. Also by using the elementary transformation, we have the result for the case s(E) = g−1. I. Choe and J. Choy were supported by KOSEF (R01-2003-000-11634-0) and S.

Last multipliers on Lie algebroids

In this paper we extend the theory of last multipliers as solutions of the Liouville’s transport equation to Lie algebroids with their top exterior power as trivial line bundle (previously developed for vector fields and multivectors). We define the notion of exact section and the Liouville equation on Lie algebroids. The aim of the present work is to develop the theory of this extension from the tangent bundle algebroid to a general Lie algebroid (e.g. the set of sections with a prescribed last multiplier is still a Gerstenhaber subalgebra). We present some characterizations of this extension in terms of Witten and Marsden differentials.

Lie algebroid fibrations

A degree 1 non-negative graded super manifold equipped with a degree 1 vector field Q satisfying [Q,Q]=1, namely a so-called NQ-1 manifold is, in plain differential geometry language, a Lie algebroid. We introduce a notion of fibration for such super manifolds, that essentially involves a complete Ehresmann connection. As it is the case for Lie algebras, such fibrations turn out not to be just locally trivial products. We also define homotopy groups and prove the expected long exact sequence associated to a fibration. In particular, Crainic and Fernandes's obstruction to the integrability of Lie algebroids is interpreted as the image of a transgression map in this long exact sequence.     

Graphical operations on projective spaces

Motivated by the work of Crapo and Rota [6] on the lifting of a projective complex, we introduce a class of invariant operations associated to integral-weighted graphs, which we call graphical operations. Such operations generalize the sixth harmonic of a quadranguler set on a projective line. We determine the expansion of the graphical operations in terms of multi-linear bracket polynomials in a Grassmann-Cayley algebra. Reducibility and compositions of such invariant operations are also investigated with a number of examples.Supported by Courant Instructorship, New York University.
