Gelfand--Dorfman algebras, derived identities, and the Manin product of operads

Abstract

Gelfand--Dorfman bialgebras (GD-algebras) are nonassociative systems with two bilinear operations satisfying a series of identities that express Hamiltonian property of an operator in the formal calculus of variations. The paper is devoted to the study of GD-algebras related with differential Poisson algebras. As a byproduct, we obtain a general description of identities that hold for operations $a\succ b=d(a)b$ and $a\prec b=ad(b)$ on a (non-associative) differential algebra with a derivation~$d$.
