On the twisted Dorfman-Courant like brackets

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski
Abstract. There are completely described all \(\mathcal{VB}_{m,n}\)-gauge-natural operators \(C\) which, like to the Dorfman-Courant bracket, send closed linear \(3\)-forms \(H\in\Gamma^{l-\rm{clos}}_E(\bigwedge^3T^*E)\) on a smooth (\(\mathcal{C}^{\infty}\)) vector bundle \(E\) into \(\mathbf{R}\)-bilinear operators \[C_H:\Gamma^l_E(TE\oplus T^*E)\times \Gamma^l_E(TE\oplus T^*E)\to \Gamma^l_E(TE\oplus T^*E)\] transforming pairs of linear sections of \(TE\oplus T^*E\to E\) into linear sections of \(TE\oplus T^*E\to E\). Then all such \(C\) which also, like to the twisted Dorfman-Courant bracket, satisfy both some "restricted" condition and the Jacobi identity in Leibniz form are extracted.
Keywords: natural operator, linear vector field, linear form, (twisted) Dorfman-Courant bracket, Jacobi identity in Leibniz form.
