On conformal bialgebras

We study conformal algebras from the point of view of conformal dual of classical Lie coalgebra structures. We define the notions of Lie conformal coalgebra and bialgebra. We obtain a conformal analog of the CYBE, the Manin triples and Drinfeldʹs double. With the definition of vertex duals, we obtain a natural description of the Lie algebra associated to a conformal algebra as a convolution algebra, clarifying the classical constructions in the theory of conformal algebras and vertex algebras
