Abstract

Omni-Lie algebroids are generalizations of Alan Weinstein's omni-Lie algebras. A Dirac structure in an omni-Lie algebroid $\dev E\oplus \jet E$ is necessarily a Lie algebroid together with a representation on EE. We study the geometry underlying these Dirac structures in the light of reduction theory. In particular, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between reducible Dirac structures and projective Lie algebroids in $\huaT=TM\oplus E$; we establish the relation between the normalizer NLN_{L} of a reducible Dirac structure LL and the derivation algebra $\Der(\pomnib (L))$ of the projective Lie algebroid $\pomnib (L)$; we study the cohomology group H∙(L,ρL)\mathrm{H}^\bullet(L,ρ_{L}) and the relation between NLN_{L} and H1(L,ρL)\mathrm{H}^1(L,ρ_{L}); we describe Lie bialgebroids using the adjoint representation; we study the deformation of a Dirac structure LL, which is related with H2(L,ρL)\mathrm{H}^2(L,ρ_{L}).
