Sequence analyses indicated the presence of a previously ...

We give some constructions of diierential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras from a class of Lie algebras. In our construction, we make use of the solutions to the classical Yang-Baxter equations, and ideas from Poisson geometry. A graded commutative algebra (A; ^) with a bracket ] of degree?1 is called a G-algebra (Gerstenhaber algebra) if: (a) (A1]; ]) is a Lie algebra, where A1] is A w...
