will give a talk on

"Classification of three-dimensional real coboundary Lie bialgebras"

Abstract
A Lie bialgebra is a pair (g,δ), where g is a Lie algebra and δ : g -> g ∧ g is a map, a so-called cocommutator, that is closed relative to the Chevalley--Eilenberg cohomology of g ∧ g-valued forms and whose transpose induces a Lie algebra structure on g^*. If δ(·) = [·,r]S for a bivector r ∈ g ∧ g and [·,·]S is the Schouten—Nijenhuis bracket, the Lie bialgebra (g,δ) is called coboundary. The classification of coboundary Lie bialgebras is carried out generally through ad-hoc methods to solve the modified Yang—Baxter equations determining all possible r. In this talk, I will present several much more unifying approaches to classifying three-dimensional real coboundary Lie bialgebras by extending Lie-algebra theory techniques to Grassmann algebras. To illustrate our techniques, several examples will be discussed.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
