Quasi-Lie bialgebroids and twisted Poisson manifolds

arXiv:math/0112152

Abstract

We develop a theory of quasi-Lie bialgebroids using a homological approach. This notion is a generalization of quasi-Lie bialgebras, as well as twisted Poisson structures with a 3-form background which have recently appeared in the context of string theory, and were studied by Ševera and Weinstein using a different method.

The souped-up published version: section on gauge transformations and a few other remarks added. added
