3-Lie bialgebras and 3-Lie classical Yang–Baxter equations in low dimensions

Abstract

In this paper, we give low-dimensional examples of local cocycle 3-Lie bialgebras and double construction 3-Lie bialgebras which were introduced in the study of the classical Yang–Baxter equation and Manin triples for 3-Lie algebras. We give an explicit and practical formula to compute the skew-symmetric solutions of the 3-Lie classical Yang–Baxter equation (CYBE). As an illustration, we obtain all skew-symmetric solutions of the 3-Lie CYBE in complex 3-Lie algebras of dimensions 3 and 4 and then the induced local cocycle 3-Lie bialgebras. On the other hand, we classify the double construction 3-Lie bialgebras for complex 3-Lie algebras in dimensions 3 and 4 and then give the corresponding eight-dimensional pseudo-metric 3-Lie algebras.
