    Let \(G\) be a Lie group and \(\mathfrak{g}\) its Lie algebra. Let \(r\in \Lambda ^2 \mathfrak{g}\) be a solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE). Let \(r^+\) and \(r^-\) be the corresponding left and right invariant translations of \(r\), so that \(\pi = r^+ - r^-\) is a Poisson tensor on \(G\) making it into a Poisson-Lie group. The cotangent bundle \(T^*G\) can be identified with the semi-direct product of \(G\) with \(\mathfrak{g}^*\), where \(G\) acts on \(\mathfrak{g}^*\) by the coadjoint action. Let \(\mathfrak{g}^*\) be the dual Lie algebra of \(\mathfrak{g}\) with respect to \(r\). Let \(D(\mathfrak{g}) = \mathfrak{g} \oplus \mathfrak{g}^*\) be the corresponding double Lie algebra. The authors show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the skew-symmetric solutions of CYBE on \(\mathfrak{g}\) and linear maps from \(\mathfrak{g}^*\) to \(\mathfrak{g}\) whose graphs are Lagrangian Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra of the group \(T^*G\). The corresponding connected Lie subgroups of \(T^*G\) have left invariant affine structures. If a solution \(r\) of the CYBE is nondegenerate, the authors show that \(G\) has a natural left invariant affine structure. The Poisson tensor \(\pi\) in this case is a polynomial of degree at most \(2\). In this case, any Lie group \(D\) integrating the double Lie algebra \(D(\mathfrak{g})\) is endowed with a compatible left invariant affine structure \(\nabla\) and a complex structure \(J\) so that \(\nabla J=0\).
