Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids

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. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, New Series Springer Journals

Abstract

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.
