Abstract: A complex symplectic structure on a Lie algebra lieh is an integrable complex structure J with a closed non-degenerate (2,0)-form. It is determined by J and the real part Omega of the (2,0)-form. Suppose that lieh is a semi-direct product liegltimesV, and both lieg and V are Lagrangian with respect to Omega and totally real with respect to J. This note shows that liegltimesV is its own weak mirror image in the sense that the associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras controlling the extended deformations of Omega and J are isomorphic. The geometry of (Omega,J) on the semi-direct product liegltimesV is also shown to be equivalent to that of a torsion-free flat symplectic connection on the Lie algebra lieg. By further exploring a relation between (J,Omega) with hypersymplectic algebras, we find an inductive process to build families of complex symplectic algebras of dimension 8n from the data of the 4n-dimensional ones.


The Gerstenhaber algebra of a Lie algebra \(h\) with a complex structure \(J\) is the exterior algebra of a semi-direct product Lie algebra. Therefore, looking for a weak mirror image for \((h,J)\), it is natural to search among semi-direct products. First, complex symplectic structures adopted to a semi-direct product Lie algebra are briefly analyzed. If \(g\) is a Lie algebra endowed with a symplectic structure \(\omega\) and a torsion free symplectic connection \(\gamma\), then the semi-direct product \(g\ltimes_{\gamma}V\) admits a complex symplectic structure \(\Omega\) such that \(g\) and \(V\) are totally real and Lagrangian with respect to the real part of \(\Omega\). Moreover, every complex symplectic structure on a Lie algebra with such characteristics arises in this way. Algebras with such complex symplectic structures are called special Lagrangian. In Theorem 5.2 it is shown that a semi-direct product Lie algebra special Lagrangian with respect to the complex symplectic structure \((\Omega, J)\) is its own weak mirror symmetry in the sense that the associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras controlling the extended deformations of \(\Omega\) and \(J\) are isomorphic. The last section is dedicated to its relation to hypersymplectic geometry. Namely, Theorem 6.1 states that if \(g\) is a symplectic Lie algebra with a torsion free flat symplectic connection \(\gamma\) on the underlying vector space of the Lie algebra, then the space \(h=g\ltimes_{\gamma}V\) admits a hypersymplectic structure \(\{\Omega_1,\Omega_2,\Omega_3\}\) such that the Levi-Civita connection \(\Gamma\) of the associated neutral metric is flat and symplectic with respect to each of the three given symplectic structures. In particular, each of these three symplectic structures induces a complex symplectic structure on \(h\ltimes_{\Gamma}W\), where \(W\) is the underlying vector space of the algebra \(h\). Finally, examples generalizing the hypersymplectic structures on Kodaira-Thurston surfaces are constructed.
