Geometric post-Lie deformations of post-Lie algebras and regularity structures

Abstract

In order to derive a class of geometric-type deformations of post-Lie algebras, we first extend the geometrical notions of torsion and curvature for a general bilinear operation on a Lie algebra, then we derive compatibility conditions which will ensure that the post-Lie structure remains preserved. This type of deformation applies in particular to the post-Lie algebra introduced in arXiv:2306.02484v3 in the context of regularity structures theory. We use this deformation to derive a pre-Lie structure for the regularity structures approach given in arXiv:2103.04187v4, which is isomorphic to the post-Lie algebra studied in arXiv:2306.02484v3 at the level of their associated Hopf algebras. In the case of sections of smooth vector bundles of a finite-dimensional manifold, this deformed structure contains also, as a subalgebra, the post-Lie algebra structure introduced in arXiv:1203.4738v3 in the geometrical context of moving frames.
