Modular classes of Poisson-Nijenhuis Lie algebroids
The modular vector field of a Poisson-Nijenhuis Lie algebroid is defined
and we prove that, in case of non-degeneracy, this vector field defines a
hierarchy of bi-Hamiltonian -vector fields. This hierarchy covers an
integrable hierarchy on the base manifold, which may not have a
Poisson-Nijenhuis structure.Comment: To appear in Letters in Mathematical Physic
Derived bracket construction and Manin products
We will extend the classical derived bracket construction to any algebra over
a binary quadratic operad. We will show that the derived product construction
is a functor given by the Manin white product with the operad of permutation
algebras. As an application, we will show that the operad of prePoisson
algebras is isomorphic to Manin black product of the Poisson operad with the
preLie operad. We will show that differential operators and Rota-Baxter
operators are, in a sense, Koszul dual to each other.Comment: This is the final versio
Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids and their modular classes
Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids are defined as a natural generalization of
Poisson-Nijenhuis algebroids, in the case where there exists a Nijenhuis
operator on a Jacobi algebroid which is compatible with it. We study modular
classes of Jacobi and Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids
Integration of Holomorphic Lie Algebroids
We prove that a holomorphic Lie algebroid is integrable if, and only if, its
underlying real Lie algebroid is integrable. Thus the integrability criteria of
Crainic-Fernandes do also apply in the holomorphic context without any
modification. As a consequence we give another proof of the following theorem:
a holomorphic Poisson manifold is integrable if, and only if, its real (or
imaginary) part is integrable as a real Poisson manifold.Comment: 26 pages, second part of arXiv:0707.4253 which was split into two,

Modular classes of skew algebroid relations
Skew algebroid is a natural generalization of the concept of Lie algebroid.
In this paper, for a skew algebroid E, its modular class mod(E) is defined in
the classical as well as in the supergeometric formulation. It is proved that
there is a homogeneous nowhere-vanishing 1-density on E* which is invariant
with respect to all Hamiltonian vector fields if and only if E is modular, i.e.
mod(E)=0. Further, relative modular class of a subalgebroid is introduced and
studied together with its application to holonomy, as well as modular class of
a skew algebroid relation. These notions provide, in particular, a unified
approach to the concepts of a modular class of a Lie algebroid morphism and
that of a Poisson map.Comment: 20 page
A supergeometric approach to Poisson reduction
This work introduces a unified approach to the reduction of Poisson manifolds
using their description by graded symplectic manifolds. This yields a
generalization of the classical Poisson reduction by distributions
(Marsden-Ratiu reduction). Further it allows one to construct actions of strict
Lie 2-groups and to describe the corresponding reductions.Comment: 40 pages. Final version accepted for publicatio
On Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroids and Courant-Jacobi algebroid morphisms
We propose a definition of Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroid and show that any
such Jacobi algebroid has an associated quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid. Therefore,
also an associated Courant-Jacobi algebroid is obtained. We introduce the
notions of quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid morphism and Courant-Jacobi algebroid
morphism providing also some examples of Courant-Jacobi algebroid morphisms.Comment: 14 pages, to appear in Journal of Geometry and Physic
Non-Commutative Batalin-Vilkovisky Algebras, Homotopy Lie Algebras and the Courant Bracket
We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a
Grassmann-odd, nilpotent \Delta operator, we define a non-commutative
generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized
Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra, and we show that they form a homotopy Lie algebra.
Secondly, we investigate higher, so-called derived brackets built from
symmetrized, nested Lie brackets with a fixed nilpotent Lie algebra element Q.
We find the most general Jacobi-like identity that such a hierarchy satisfies.
The numerical coefficients in front of each term in these generalized Jacobi
identities are related to the Bernoulli numbers. We suggest that the definition
of a homotopy Lie algebra should be enlarged to accommodate this important
case. Finally, we consider the Courant bracket as an example of a derived
bracket. We extend it to the "big bracket" of exterior forms and multi-vectors,
and give closed formulas for the higher Courant brackets.Comment: 42 pages, LaTeX. v2: Added remarks in Section 5. v3: Added further

The graded Jacobi algebras and (co)homology
Jacobi algebroids (i.e. `Jacobi versions' of Lie algebroids) are studied in
the context of graded Jacobi brackets on graded commutative algebras. This
unifies varios concepts of graded Lie structures in geometry and physics. A
method of describing such structures by classical Lie algebroids via certain
gauging (in the spirit of E.Witten's gauging of exterior derivative) is
developed. One constructs a corresponding Cartan differential calculus (graded
commutative one) in a natural manner. This, in turn, gives canonical generating
operators for triangular Jacobi algebroids. One gets, in particular, the
Lichnerowicz-Jacobi homology operators associated with classical Jacobi
structures. Courant-Jacobi brackets are obtained in a similar way and use to
define an abstract notion of a Courant-Jacobi algebroid and Dirac-Jacobi
structure. All this offers a new flavour in understanding the
Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism.Comment: 20 pages, a few typos corrected; final version to be published in J.

Classification of real three-dimensional Lie bialgebras and their Poisson-Lie groups
Classical r-matrices of the three-dimensional real Lie bialgebras are
obtained. In this way all three-dimensional real coboundary Lie bialgebras and
their types (triangular, quasitriangular or factorizable) are classified. Then,
by using the Sklyanin bracket, the Poisson structures on the related
Poisson-Lie groups are obtained.Comment: 17 page
