Bialgebras, the Yang–Baxter equation and Manin triples for mock-Lie algebras

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of a mock-Lie bialgebra which is equivalent to a Manin triple of mock-Lie algebras. The study of a special case called coboundary mock-Lie bialgebra leads to introducing the mock-Lie Yang–Baxter equation on a mock-Lie algebra which is an analogue of the classical Yang–Baxter equation on a Lie algebra. Note that a skew-symmetric solution of mock-Lie Yang–Baxter equation gives a mock-Lie bialgebra. Finally, O-operators are studied to construct a skew-symmetric solution of a mock-Lie Yang–Baxter equation.
