Manin triples for double Lie bialgebroids

Abstract

We verify that LA-Courant algebroids provide the Manin triple framework for double Lie bialgebroids. Specifically, we establish a correspondence between double Lie bialgebroids and LA-Manin triples, i.e., LA-Courant algebroids equipped with a pair of complementary LA-Dirac structures. As an application, LA-Courant algebroids and CA-groupoids given by Drinfeld doubles are shown to correspond via integration and differentiation.
