Hamilton Lie algebroids over Dirac structures and sigma models

Abstract

We propose a Hamiltonian Lie algebroid and a momentum section over a Dirac structure as a generalization of a Hamiltonian Lie algebroid over a pre-symplectic manifold and one over a Poisson manifold. A Hamiltonian Lie algebroid and a momentum section are generalizations of a Hamiltonian G-space and a momentum map over a symplectic manifold. We show some properties of a new Hamiltonian Lie algebroid, and construct the mechanics with this structure as an application, which are sigma models called the gauged Poisson sigma model and the gauged Dirac sigma model.
