3-Lie bialgebras and 3-pre-Lie algebras induced by involutive derivations

Abstract: In this paper, we study the structure of 3-Lie algebras with involutive derivations. We prove that if $A$ is an $m$-dimensional 3-Lie algebra with an involutive derivation $D$, then there exists a compatible 3-pre-Lie algebra $(A, { , , , }D)$ such that $A$ is the sub-adjacent 3-Lie algebra, and there is a local cocycle $3$-Lie bialgebraic structure on the $2m$-dimensional semi-direct product 3-Lie algebra $A\ltimes{ad^*} A^*$, which is associated to the adjoint representation $(A, ad)$. By means of involutive derivations, the skew-symmetric solution of the 3-Lie classical Yang-Baxter equation in the 3-Lie algebra $A\ltimes_{ad^}A^$, a class of 3-pre-Lie algebras, and eight and ten dimensional local cocycle 3-Lie bialgebras are constructed.
