Drinfel'd doubles and Ehresmann doubles for
Lie algebroids and Lie bialgebroids
K. C. H. Mackenzie
Abstract.
We show that the Manin triple characterization of Lie bialgebras in terms
of the Drinfel'd double may be extended to arbitrary Poisson manifolds and
indeed Lie bialgebroids by using double cotangent bundles, rather than the
direct sum structures (Courant algebroids) utilized for similar purposes by
Liu, Weinstein and Xu. This is achieved in terms of an abstract notion of
double Lie algebroid (where \lq\lq double\rq\rq\ is now used in the
Ehresmann sense) which unifies many iterated constructions in differential
geometry.
