A Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) is a Lie bialgebra if it is also a Lie coalgebra whose cobracket \(\delta\) is a cocycle in \(Z^1({\mathfrak g},{\mathfrak g}\wedge {\mathfrak g})\). The notion of a Lie quasi-bialgebra \(({\mathfrak g},\delta,\phi)\) is a weakening of this where the co-Jacobi identity has the three permuted terms adding to (ad \(x)\phi\) instead of 0, where \(\phi\) is in \({\mathfrak g}\wedge {\mathfrak g}\wedge{\mathfrak g}\) and satisfies a compatibility condition with respect to \(\delta\), and \(x\) is in \({\mathfrak g}\). If \(\phi = 0\), we recover the notion of a Lie bialgebra. For a complex Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\), the authors define a quasi-triangular decomposition (QTD) as a quadruple \(({\mathfrak g}_0, {\mathfrak g}_+,{\mathfrak g}_-( ,))\), where \({\mathfrak g}_0\) is a subalgebra, \({\mathfrak g}_+\) and \({\mathfrak g}_-\) subspaces, \(( ,) : {\mathfrak g}\times {\mathfrak g}\to \mathbb{C}\) an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form such that \(0 = ({\mathfrak g}_+,{\mathfrak g}_+) = ({\mathfrak g}_-,{\mathfrak g}_-) = ({\mathfrak g}_+,{\mathfrak g}_0)= ({\mathfrak g}_0,{\mathfrak g}_-)\). This QTD is called triangular (TD) if \({\mathfrak g}_0\) is abelian, \({\mathfrak g}_+\) and \({\mathfrak g}_-\) are subalgebras and \([g_{\pm},{\mathfrak g}_0]\subseteq {\mathfrak g}_\pm\). The main theorem is that if \({\mathfrak g}\) is finite-dimensional with QTD (resp. TD), then \({\mathfrak g}\) has a Lie quasi-bialgebra (resp. Lie bialgebra) structure which is quasi-triangular, i.e., \(\delta=\partial r\) for \(r\) in \({\mathfrak g}\wedge{\mathfrak g}\) and \(\widehat r =\phi\), where \(\widehat r = 0\) is the classical Yang-Baxter equation. The discussion is in terms of Manin pairs and triples. Many examples are given, some already known, some new and some related to constructions of Witt and Heisenberg. As a byproduct, they obtain some new classical \(r\)-matrices.
