Trivial Central Extensions of Lie Bialgebras (1110.1072v1)

Abstract: From a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying $\mathcal{Z}(\mathfrak{g})=0$ and $\Lambda^2(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g}=0$ (in particular, for $\g$ semisimple) we describe explicitly all Lie bialgebra structures on extensions of the form $\mathfrak{L} =\mathfrak{g}\times \mathbb{K}$ in terms of Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}$ (not necessarily factorizable nor quasi-triangular) and its biderivations, for any field $\mathbb{K}$ with char $\mathbb{K}=0$. If moreover, $[\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}]=\mathfrak{g}$, then we describe also all Lie bialgebra structures on extensions $\mathfrak{L} =\mathfrak{g}\times \mathbb{K}^n$. In interesting cases we characterize the Lie algebra of biderivations.
