Modular Class of a Loday algebroid
We review Loday algebroids, their cohomology and characteristic classes. The modular class of this structure, a special characteristic class, is defined using nonlinear connections, and we try to recover the modular class of well-known examples such as Nambu-Poisson manifolds, Courant algebroids, and Grassman-Dorfmann algebroids. This is a joint work in progress with Fani Petalidou (University of Thessaloniki).
