In mathematics, a Lie bialgebra is the Lie-theoretic case of a bialgebra: it's a set with a Lie algebra and a Lie coalgebra structure which are compatible.

It is a bialgebra where the comultiplication is skew-symmetric and satisfies a dual Jacobi identity, so that the dual vector space is a Lie algebra, whereas the comultiplication is a 1-cocycle, so that the multiplication and comultiplication are compatible. The cocycle condition implies that, in practice, one studies only classes of bialgebras that are cohomologous to a Lie bialgebra on a coboundary.

They are also called Poisson-Hopf algebras, and are the Lie algebra of a Poisson-Lie group.

Lie bialgebras occur naturally in the study of the Yang-Baxter equations.

Definition

A vector space is a Lie bialgebra if it is a Lie algebra,

and there is the structure of Lie algebra also on the dual vector space which is compatible.

More precisely the Lie algebra structure on is given

by a Lie bracket

and the Lie algebra structure on is given by a Lie

bracket .

Then the map dual to is called the cocommutator,

and the compatibility condition is the following cocycle relation:

where is the adjoint.

Note that this definition is symmetric and is also a Lie bialgebra, the dual Lie bialgebra.

Example

Let be any semisimple Lie algebra.

To specify a Lie bialgebra structure we{{Who?|Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an algebra textbook|date=April 2019}} thus need to specify a compatible Lie algebra structure on the dual vector space.

Choose a Cartan subalgebra and a choice of positive roots.

Let be the corresponding opposite Borel subalgebras, so that and there is a natural projection .

Then define a Lie algebra

which is a subalgebra of the product , and has the same dimension as .

Now identify with dual of via the pairing

where and is the Killing form.

This defines a Lie bialgebra structure on , and is the "standard" example: it underlies the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group.

Note that is solvable, whereas is semisimple.

Relation to Poisson-Lie groups

The Lie algebra of a Poisson-Lie group G has a natural structure of Lie bialgebra.

In brief the Lie group structure gives the Lie bracket on as usual, and the linearisation of the Poisson structure on G

gives the Lie bracket on

(recalling that a linear Poisson structure on a vector space is the same thing as a Lie bracket on the dual vector space).

In more detail, let G be a Poisson-Lie group, with being two smooth functions on the group manifold. Let be the differential at the identity element. Clearly, . The Poisson structure on the group then induces a bracket on , as

where is the Poisson bracket. Given be the Poisson bivector on the manifold, define to be the right-translate of the bivector to the identity element in G. Then one has that

The cocommutator is then the tangent map:

so that

is the dual of the cocommutator.
