Abstract
We show that the construction of the double of a Lie bialgebra can be extended to the case where a vector space is only equipped with the structure of a Jacobian quasi-bialgebra (also called a Lie quasi-bialgebra). In this case, the double is itself a Jacobian quasi-bialgebra and it is quasi-triangular. The more general case of the double of a proto-Lie bialgebra is also discussed. In the first section, the notions of exact, strictly exact, quasi-triangular and triangular Jacobian quasi-bialgebras are defined and their equivalence classes under twisting are studied.
