In this talk, I will introduce a bialgebra theory for the Novikov algebra, namely the Novikov bialgebra, which is characterized by the fact that its affinization (by a quadratic right Novikov algebra) gives an infinite-dimensional Lie bialgebra. A Novikov bialgebra is also characterized as a Manin triple of Novikov algebras. The notion of Novikov Yang-Baxter equation is introduced, whose skew-symmetric solutions can be used to produce Novikov bialgebras and hence Lie bialgebras. These solutions also give rise to skewsymmetric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation in the infinite-dimensional Lie algebras from the Novikov algebras. Moreover, a similar connection between Novikov bialgebras and Lie conformal bialgebras will be introduced.

This talk is based on joint works with Chengming Bai and Li Guo.
