Special symplectic Lie groups and hypersymplectic Lie groups (Q604236)

The paper is devoted to introduce techniques for constructing hypersymplectic Lie groups. The construction method starts from a special symplectic Lie group and consists in ``deforming'' the standard Lie group structure on its both tangent and cotangent bundle through the left-invariant affine structure associated with the given special symplectic Lie group. The Lie group resulting of this ``deformation'' procedure (the tangent bundle and the cotangent bundle with an alternative Lie-group structure, respectively) admits some families of left-invariant hypersymplectic structures and, hence, can be endowed with the structure necessary to be a hypersymplectic Lie group. Since the existence of a special symplectic Lie group is needed to start the procedure, the authors also explain how to construct those groups. In fact, they consider the affine cotangent extension problem and, solve it by introducing the novel notions of post-affine structure (over the Lie group) and post-left-symmetric algebra (corresponding to the Lie algebra associated with the group). Additionally, they prove that these type of algebras are the natural underlying algebraic structure of a special symplectic Lie algebra (that associated with a special symplectic Lie group). Precisely, using both post-affine structures (over the groups) and post-left symmetric algebras, they provide a constructive technique to obtain special symplectic Lie groups (or equivalently algebras). This method is called the double extensions. In fact, the double extensions of special symplectic Lie algebras correspond to the natural underlying structures of flat hypersymplectic Lie algebra. Finally, they include an appendix in which construct a new class of special para-Kähler Lie algebra using the double extension technique. The elements of this class are named very special para-Kähler Lie algebras, being studied some of their properties.
