Modular classes of regular twisted Poisson structures on Lie algebroids (Q2457818)

While the modular vector fields of Poisson manifolds were first defined by Koszul in 1985, the modular classes of Lie algebroids, generalizing those of Poisson manifolds, were developed by \textit{S. Evens, J.-H. Lu}, and \textit{A. Weinstein} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 50, No.~200, 417--436 (1999; Zbl 0968.58014)], and the modular classes of Lie algebroids with twisted Poisson structures -- by \textit{Y. Kosmann-Schwarzbach} and \textit{C. Laurent-Gengoux} [Proceedings of the 4th conference on Poisson geometry, Luxembourg, June 7--11, 2004. Luxembourg: Université du Luxembourg. Travaux Mathématiques 16, 315--339 (2005; Zbl 1097.53054)]. Recall that a twisted Poisson structure in a Lie algebroid \(A\) consists of a section \(\pi\) of \(\wedge^2A\) and a section \(\psi\) of \(\wedge^3A^*\) such that \(\psi\) is closed with respect to the Lie algebroid de Rham operator \(d_A\) and \(\frac{1}{2}[\pi,\pi]_A=(\wedge^3\pi^\#)\psi\), where \([\cdot,\cdot]_A\) is the Lie algebroid Schouten bracket. Such a structure is called regular if \(\pi\) is of constant rank, i.e., if the image \(B\) of \(\pi^\#\) is a vector subbundle and thus a Lie subalgebroid of \(A\). This Lie algebroid has a canonical representation in the kernel \(C\subset A^*\) of \(\pi^\#\). The modular class of the twisted Lie algebroid Poisson structure \((A,\pi,\psi)\) is proved to be \((\pi_B^\#)(\theta_B)\), where \(\theta_B\) is the characteristic class of the Lie algebroid \(B\) with the representation on the line bundle \(\wedge^{\text{top}}(C)\) induced by the canonical representation. This formula is used to compute the modular classes of Lie algebras with a twisted triangular \(r\)-matrix. The special case of \(r\)-matrices associated to Frobenius Lie algebras is also studied.
