Abstract: | In (11 Benayadi, S., Hidri, S. (2014). Quadratic Leibniz algebras. Journal of Lie Theory 24:737–759.Web of Science ®] , Google Scholar]]), we have studied quadratic Leibniz algebras that are Leibniz algebras endowed with symmetric, nondegenerate, and associative (or invariant) bilinear forms. The nonanticommutativity of the Leibniz product gives rise to other types of invariance for a bilinear form defined on a Leibniz algebra: the left invariance, the right invariance. In this article, we study the structure of Leibniz algebras endowed with nondegenerate, symmetric, and left (resp. right) invariant bilinear forms. In particular, the existence of such a bilinear form on a Leibniz algebra 𝔏 gives rise to a new algebra structure ☆ on the underlying vector space 𝔏. In this article, we study this new algebra, and we give information on the structure of this type of algebras by using some extensions introduced in 11 Benayadi, S., Hidri, S. (2014). Quadratic Leibniz algebras. Journal of Lie Theory 24:737–759.Web of Science ®] , Google Scholar]]. In particular, we improve the results obtained in 22 Lin, J., Chen, Z. (2010).
