A construction for coisotropic subalgebras of Lie bialgebras (Q616319)

Let \(g\) be a finite-dimensional complex Lie bialgebra, so that \(g^*\) is also a Lie algebra with compatability conditions. Assume that the cobracket on \(g\) is given by a coboundary induced by an \(r\)-matrix \(p\) satisfying the modified classical Yang-Baxter equation. The aim of the paper is to construct coisotropic Lie subalgebras \(h\) of \(g\), i.e., the annihilator of \(h\) in \(g^*\) is a Lie subalgebra of \(g^*\). The main result is that if \(X\) in \(g\) satisfies \([X,[X,p]]=a[X,p]\) for some real number \(a\), then the image of the map from \(g^*\) to \(g\) given by contraction with \([X,p]\) is a coisotropic Lie subalgebra of \(g\). The proof involves the Poisson Lie group \(G\) of \(g\), since for \(x \in G\), if the invariants \(h^x\) form a Lie subalgebra of \(g\), then it will be a coisotropic Lie subalgebra of \(g\). Then apply for \(x=\exp(X)\) to get the main result. Much of the paper is devoted to examples for \(g\) simple, namely \(\mathfrak{sl}(n+1)\), \(\mathfrak{so}(2n+1)\), \(\mathfrak{sp}(2n)\) and \(\mathfrak{so}(2n)\) with \(h\) a Cartan subalgebra.
