On the Courant bracket on couples of vector fields and \(p\)-forms

Miroslav Doupovec, Jan Kurek, Włodzimierz Mikulski

Abstract


If \(m\geq p+1\geq 2\) (or \(m=p\geq 3\)), all  natural bilinear  operators \(A\) transforming pairs of couples of vector fields and \(p\)-forms on \(m\)-manifolds \(M\) into couples of vector fields and \(p\)-forms on \(M\) are described. It is observed that  any natural skew-symmetric bilinear operator \(A\) as above coincides with the generalized Courant bracket up to three (two, respectively) real constants.

Keywords
