A bialgebra is an algebra \(A\) which additionally carries the structure of a coalgebra, that is, \(A\) has a comultiplication \(\Delta\: A\to A\otimes A\). In this case, the dual space \(A^*\) is endowed with the structure of an algebra and the space \(A\) has the structure of an \(A^*\)-bimodule defined by \[ \langle fg,a\rangle =\sum_a\langle f,a_{(1)}\rangle \langle g,a_{(2)}\rangle,\quad a\cdot f=\sum_a\langle f,a_{(1)}\rangle a_{(2)},\quad f\cdot a=\sum_a a_{(1)}\langle f,a_{(2)}\rangle, \] where \(f,g\in A^*,\;a\in A,\;\Delta (a)=\sum_a a_{(1)}\otimes a_{(2)}\). In addition, \(A^*\) has the structure of an \(A\)-bimodule defined by \(\langle f\bullet a,b\rangle=\langle f,ab\rangle\), \(\langle a\bullet f,b\rangle=\langle f,ba\rangle \). The vector space direct sum \(B(A,A^*)\) with the multiplication \[ (a+f)(b+g)=(ab+f\cdot b+a\cdot g)+(fg+f\bullet b+a\bullet g) \] is an algebra which is called the Manin triple or the Drinfeld double of a bialgebra \(A\). For a given variety \(\mathfrak M\) of algebras, the author calls the bialgebra \((A,\Delta)\) a Drinfeld \(\mathfrak M\)-bialgebra if the Drinfeld double \(B(A,A^*)\) belongs to \(\mathfrak M\). In the case of a Lie algebra, the definition agrees with that of Lie bialgebra, but this is not so for the case of associative algebras: an associative algebra \(A\) with a comultiplication \(\Delta\) is an associative Drinfeld bialgebra if and only if the coalgebra \((A,\Delta)\) is associative and \(\Delta\) satisfies the equalities \(\Delta (ab)=\Delta (a)b+a\Delta (b)\) and \([a,\tau\Delta (b)]= -\tau([b,\tau\Delta(a)])\), where \(\tau (a\otimes b)=b\otimes a\). The author studies Jordan (Drinfeld) bialgebras and their connections with associative and Lie bialgebras. With any associative Drinfeld bialgebra \((A,\Delta)\), the author associates a Jordan bialgebra \((A^+,\Delta^+)\) and proves that the Jordan comultiplication \(\Delta^+\) induces the structure of a Lie bialgebra on the Lie algebra \(L(A^+)\) obtained from \(A^+\) by the Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction. Conversely, if, given a Jordan algebra \(J\), the corresponding Kantor-Koecher-Tits Lie algebra \(L(J)\) admits the structure of a Lie bialgebra then, under natural restrictions, \(J\) admits the srtucture of a Jordan bialgebra.
