g-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebras.

Abstract: A Lie version of Turaev's

o v e r l i n e G

-Frobenius algebras from 2-dimensional homotopy quantum field theory is proposed. The foundation for this Lie version is a structure we call a extit{

f r a k g

-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra} for

f r a k g

a finite dimensional Lie algebra. The latter consists of a quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra

together with a left

f r a k g

-module structure which acts on

f r a k q

via derivations and for which

is

f r a k g

-invariant. Geometrically,

f r a k g

-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebras are the Lie algebra structures associated to symplectic Lie groups with an action by a Lie group

G

which acts via symplectic Lie group automorphisms. In addition to geometry,

f r a k g

-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebras can also be motivated from the point of view of category theory. Specifically,

f r a k g

-quasi Frobenius Lie algebras correspond to extit{quasi Frobenius Lie objects} in

m a t h b f R e p (f r a k g)

. If

f r a k g

is now equipped with a Lie bialgebra structure, then the categorical formulation of

o v e r l i n e G

-Frobenius algebras given in cite{KP} suggests that the Lie version of a

o v e r l i n e G

-Frobenius algebra is a quasi-Frobenius Lie object in

m a t h b f R e p (D (f r a k g))

, where

D (f r a k g)

is the associated (semiclassical) Drinfeld double. We show that if

f r a k g

is a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra, then every

f r a k g

-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra has an induced

D (f r a k g)

-action which gives it the structure of a

D (f r a k g)

-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra.
