On Some Aspects of the Courant-Type Algebroids, the Related Coadjoint Orbits and Integrable Systems

Abstract

Poisson structures related to affine Courant-type algebroids are analyzed, including those related with cotangent bundles on Lie-group manifolds. Special attention is paid to Courant-type algebroids and their related R structures generated by suitably defined tensor mappings. Lie–Poisson brackets that are invariant with respect to the coadjoint action of the loop diffeomorphism group are created, and the related Courant-type algebroids are described. The corresponding integrable Hamiltonian flows generated by Casimir functionals and generalizing so-called heavenly-type differential systems describing diverse geometric structures of conformal type in finite dimensional Riemannian manifolds are described.
