Hamiltonian type Lie bialgebras (Q2465136)

In a paper studying Lie bialgebra structures on Witt and Virasoro algebras \(L\), \textit{S.-H. Ng} and the reviewer showed that all such structures are triangular coboundary, i.e., given by the coboundary of an element in \(L\otimes L\) satisfying the classical Yang-Baxter equation [J. Pure Appl. Alg. 151, 67--88 (2000; Zbl 0971.17008)]. An auxiliary result is that \(H^1(L, L\otimes L)=0\). Since then, this type of result has been extended to various classes of Lie algebras, e.g., generalized Witt algebras [\textit{G. Song} and \textit{Y. Su}, Sci. China Ser. A, 49, No. 4, 533--544 (2006; Zbl 1171.17007)] and generalized Virasoro algebras [\textit{Y. Wu, G. Song} and \textit{Y. Su}, Acta Math. Sin. Engl. Ser. 22, No. 6, 1915--1922 (2006; Zbl 1116.17013)]. In the paper under review, the same result is proved for Hamiltonian Lie algebras \(H\) of Cartan type. These come from additive subgroups containing a basis of an even dimensional Euclidean space. The result is the same. \(H^1(H, H\otimes H)=0\), and any Lie bialgebra structure on \(H\) is triangular coboundary. As in all these extensions, the program is similar to that of Ng and the reviewer (op. cit.).
