Reynolds Lie bialgebras

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a bialgebra theory for Reynolds Lie algebras. First we introduce the notion of a quadratic Reynolds Lie algebra and show that it induces an isomorphism from the adjoint representation to the coadjoint representation. Then we introduce the notion of matched pairs, Manin triples and bialgebras for Reynolds Lie algebras, and show that Manin triples, bialgebras and certain matched pairs of Reynolds Lie algebras are equivalent. In particular, we introduce the notion of a Reynolds operator on a quadratic Rota-Baxter Lie algebra which can induce a Reynolds Lie bialgebra naturally. Finally, we introduce the notion of the classical Yang-Baxter equation in a Reynolds Lie algebra whose solutions give rise to Reynolds Lie bialgebras. We also introduce the notion of relative Rota-Baxter operators on a Reynolds Lie algebra and Reynolds pre-Lie algebras, and construct solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation in terms of relative Rota-Baxter operators and Reynolds pre-Lie algebras.
