Courant Algebroids. A Short History

The search for a geometric interpretation of the constrained brackets of Dirac led to the definition of the Courant bracket. The search for the right notion of a ''double'' for Lie bialgebroids led to the definition of Courant algebroids. We recount the emergence of these concept...

This paper is a contribution to the Special Issue “Symmetries of Dif ferential Equations: Frames, Invariants
 and Applications”. The full collection is available at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/SDE2012.html.
 I wish to thank Alan Weinstein as well as Dmitry Roytenberg and Pavol Severa for their very ˇ
 useful correspondence and discussions concerning their work on Courant algebroids. Thanks are
 also due to Ted Voronov and to the referees for their constructive remarks that were incorporated
 in the present version. This short history was begun as a memorandum written for Shlomo Sternberg, whom I thank for giving me the incentive to delve into some near-contemporary history.
