A New Approach to Jordan D-Bialgebras via Jordan–Manin Triples

Abstract

Jordan D-bialgebras were introduced by Zhelyabin. In this paper, we use a new approach to study Jordan D-bialgebras by a new notion of the dual representation of the regular representation of a Jordan algebra. Motivated by the essential connection between Lie bialgebras and Manin triples, we give an explicit proof of the equivalence between Jordan D-bialgebras and a class of special Jordan–Manin triples called double constructions of pseudo-euclidean Jordan algebras. We also show that a Jordan D-bialgebra leads to the Jordan Yang–Baxter equation under the coboundary condition and an antisymmetric nondegenerate solution of the Jordan Yang–Baxter equation corresponds to an antisymmetric bilinear form, which we call a Jordan symplectic form on Jordan algebras. Furthermore, there exists a new algebra structure called pre-Jordan algebra on Jordan algebras with a Jordan symplectic form.
