The standard cohomology of regular Courant algebroids

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: For any regular Courant algebroid E over a smooth manifold M with characteristic distribution F and ample Lie algebroid AE, we prove that there exists a canonical homological vector field on the graded manifold AE[1]oplus(TM/F)ast[2] such that the resulting dg manifold mathcalME, which we call the minimal model of the Courant algebroid E, encodes all cohomological information of E. Indeed, the standard cohomology of E can be identified with the cohomology of the function space on mathcalME, which can be computed by a Hodge-to-de Rham type spectral sequence. We apply this result to generalized exact Courant algebroids and those arising from regular Lie algebroids.
