Quasi-Bigèbres de Lie et Algèbres Quasi-Batalin-Vilkovisky Différentielles (Q4803341)

Lie quasi-bialgebras are classical limits of the quasi-Hopf algebras, and were introduced by \textit{V. G. Drinfeld} [Leningr. Math. J. 1, 1419-1457 (1990; Zbl 0718.16033)]. Differential quasi-Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras are generalizations of differential Balatin-Vilkovisky algebras introduced by \textit{E. Getzler} [Ann. Phys. 237, 161-201 (1995; Zbl 0812.58108)] and by \textit{Y. Kosmann-Schwarzbach} [Acta Appl. Math. 41, 153-165 (1995; Zbl 0837.17014)]. In the paper under review, the author shows that the kernel of the Laplacian operator of a differential quasi-Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra is a homotopy BV-algebra. He also establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the Lie quasi-bialgebra structures on a finite-dimensional vector space with a generalized co-character and differential quasi-Batalin-Vilkovisky structures on the exterior algebra of the dual vector space.
