A Lie Group Structure Underlying the Triplectic Geometry

Abstract

We consider the pair of degenerate compatible antibrackets satisfying a generalization of the axioms imposed in the triplectic quantization of gauge theories. We show that this actually encodes a Lie group structure, with the antibrackets being related to the left- and right- invariant vector fields on the group. The standard triplectic quantization axioms then correspond to Abelian groups.
