Lie bialgebra structures on the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra (Q1758256): Difference between revisions

\textit{S. H. Ng} and the reviewer showed that all Lie bialgebra structures on the (complex) Witt algebra, the centerless Virasoro algebra and the Virasoro algebra are triangular coboundary, and in the Witt algebra case, found all solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 151, No. 1, 67--88 (2000; Zbl 0971.17008)]. Since then, many Lie algebra variations of these algebras were studied and their Lie bialgebra structures investigated, in particular when they are triangular coboundary. Some examples are Lie algebras of differential operators and the Schrödinger-Virasoro Lie algebra. For these Lie algebras \(L, (H^1)(L, L \wedge L)\) is not zero, but a certain space of derivations. The paper under review considers the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra \(T\), which contains the Virasoro algebra and the Heisenberg algebra as Lie subalgebra. The authors determine \((H ^1)(T, T \wedge T)\) as a certain space \(D\) of derivations. By writing the cobracket as an inner derivation plus an element of \(D\), they are able to reobtain the results of many of the earlier variations, which is a simplification of these earlier arguments.
