On quadratic Novikov algebras
Abstract
A quadratic Novikov algebra is a Novikov algebra $(A, \circ)$ with a symmetric and nondegenerate bilinear form $B(\cdot,\cdot)$ satisfying $B(a\circ b, c)=-B(b, a\circ c+c\circ a)$ for all $a$, $b$, $c\in A$. This notion appeared in the theory of Novikov bialgebras. In this paper, we first investigate some properties of quadratic Novikov algebras and give a decomposition theorem of quadratic Novikov algebras. Then we present a classification of quadratic Novikov algebras of dimensions $2$ and $3$ over $\mathbb{C}$ up to isomorphism. Finally, a construction of quadratic Novikov algebras called double extension is presented and we show that any quadratic Novikov algebra containing a nonzero isotropic ideal can be obtained by double extensions. Based on double extension, an example of quadratic Novikov algebras of dimension 4 is given.
