ABSTRACT We introduce a notion of left-symmetric bialgebra which is an analogue of the notion of Lie bialgebra. We prove that a left-symmetric bialgebra is equivalent to a symplectic Lie algebra with a decomposition into a direct sum of the underlying vector spaces of two Lagrangian subalgebras. The latter is called a parak\"ahler Lie algebra or a phase space of a Lie algebra in mathematical physics. We introduce and study coboundary left-symmetric bialgebras and our study leads to what we call "$S$-equation", which is an analogue of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. In a certain sense, the $S$-equation associated to a left-symmetric algebra reveals the left-symmetry of the products. We show that a symmetric solution of the $S$-equation gives a parak\"ahler Lie algebra. We also show that such a solution corresponds to the symmetric part of a certain operator called "${\cal O}$-operator", whereas a skew-symmetric solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation corresponds to the skew-symmetric part of an ${\cal O}$-operator. Thus a method to construct symmetric solutions of the $S$-equation (hence parak\"ahler Lie algebras) from ${\cal O}$-operators is provided. Moreover, by comparing left-symmetric bialgebras and Lie bialgebras, we observe that there is a clear analogue between them and, in particular, parak\"ahler Lie groups correspond to Poisson-Lie groups in this sense.

##### Dataset: On para-Kähler and hyper-para-Kähler Lie algebras
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study Lie algebras admitting para-Kähler and hyper-para-Kähler structures. We give new characterizations of these Lie algebras and we develop many methods to build large classes of examples. Bai considered para-Kähler Lie algebras as left symmetric bialgebras. We reconsider this point of view and improve it in order to obtain some new results. The study of para-Kähler and hyper-para-Kähler is intimately linked to the study of left symmetric algebras and, in particular, those admitting invariant symplectic forms. In this paper, we give many new classes of left symmetric algebras and a complete description of all associative algebras admitting an invariant symplectic form. We give also all four dimensional hyper-para-Kähler Lie algebras.

##### Article: Categorification of Pre-Lie Algebras and Solutions of 2-graded Classical Yang-Baxter Equations
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we introduce the notion of a pre-Lie 2-algebra, which is a categorification of a pre-Lie algebra. We prove that the category of pre-Lie 2-algebras and the category of 2-term pre-Lie$_\infty$-algebras are equivalent. We classify skeletal pre-Lie 2-algebras by the third cohomology of a pre-Lie algebra. We prove that crossed modules of pre-Lie algebras are in one-to-one correspondence with strict pre-Lie 2-algebras. $\mathcal O$-operators on Lie 2-algebras are introduced, which can be used to construct pre-Lie 2-algebras. As an application, we give solutions of 2-graded classical Yang-Baxter equations in some semidirect product Lie 2-algebras.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we classify the left-symmetric superalgebras in dimensions two and three over the field of complex numbers. As a direct consequence, we obtain some explicit solutions of the graded classical Yang–Baxter equation in certain Lie superalgebras and their corresponding Lie bisuperalgebras.
