The Lie bialgebroid of a Poisson-Nijenhuis manifold (Q2563437)

The authors prove that a Poisson structure and a Nijenhuis structure constitute a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure if and only if the cotangent and the tangent bundles are a Lie bialgebroid when equipped, respectively, with the bracket of 1-forms defined by the Poisson tensor \(P\) and with the deformed bracket of vector fields defined by the Nijenhuis tensor \(N\). The authors also give a review of the notions of Lie algebroid and Lie bialgebroid.
