On Contact and Symplectic Lie Algeroids
In this paper, we will study compatible triples on Lie algebroids. Using a suitable decomposition for a Lie algebroid, we construct an integrable generalized distribution on the base manifold. As a result, the symplectic form on the Lie algebroid induces a symplectic form on each integral submanifold of the distribution. The induced Poisson structure on the base manifold can be represented by m...
متن کاملLie antialgebras: cohomology and representations
We describe the main algebraic and geometric properties of the class of algebras introduced in [11]. We discuss their origins in symplectic geometry and associative algebra, and the notions of cohomology and representations. We formulate classification theorems and give a number of examples.
متن کاملDeformation quantization of algebraic varieties
The paper is devoted to peculiarities of the deformation quantization in the algebro-geometric context. A direct application of the formality theorem to an algebraic Poisson manifold gives a canonical sheaf of categories deforming coherent sheaves. The global category is very degenerate in general. Thus, we introduce a new notion of a semiformal deformation, a replacement in algebraic geometry ...
متن کاملGeometric Structures on Nilpotent Lie Groups: on Their Classification and a Distinguished Compatible Metric
Let (N, γ) be a nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant geometric structure (cf. symplectic, complex, hypercomplex or any of their ‘almost’ versions). We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with γ to be minimal, if it minimizes the norm of the invariant part of the Ricci tensor among all compatible metrics with the same scalar curvature. We prove that minimal metrics...
متن کاملAn algebraic method of obtaining of symplectic coordinates in a rigid body dynamics
An algebraic procedure of getting of canonical variables in a rigid body dynamics is presented. The method is based on using a structure of an algebra of Lie—Poisson brackets with which a Hamiltonian dynamics is set. In a particular case of a problem of a top in a homogeneous gravitation field the method leads to well–known Andoyer—Deprit variables. Earlier, the method of getting of them was ba...
