Let be a smooth manifold and let be the ring of smooth functions on it. A Leibniz bracket on is a bilinear map that is a derivation on each entry, that is,
for any . We will say that the pair is a Leibniz manifold . If the bracket is antisymmetric, that is, it satisfies
for every pair of functions then we say that is an almost Poisson manifold . We will usually denote the almost Poisson brackets with the symbol .
A function such that (respectively, ) for any is called a left (respectively, right ) Casimir of the Leibniz manifold .
Almost-linear — Say that an expectation-valued function of possibly several expectation arguments is almost-linear if it can be written in the form

where is an expectation and are linear expectation-valued functions of their single arguments.
[ -Baxter operator] Let . Let be an associative algebra. A -Baxter operator is a linear map verifying:
Given a positive integer we define the class of LP- representatives to consist of functions of the form
for some .
Let be a C -bialgebra and be a locally finite, lower semicontinuous weight on . We say that is right invariant if for any such that and any we have
Let be an operator algebra acting on a Hilbert space and be a (unbounded) linear mapping from into . We say that is a GNS map if the domain is a left ideal in and

for any and . The GNS map is called closed if it is closed with respect to strong operator topology on and norm topology on . We say that a GNS map defined on a C -algebra is densely defined if its domain is norm dense in the C -algebra. Similarly a GNS map defined on a von Neumann algebra is said to be densely defined if its domain is strongly dense in the von Neumann algebra.
Let us consider a higher-order state . A projector is called -compatible if

The state is called -compatible if the set of all -compatible projectors generates the whole -algebra . Finally, for a given -compatible state , a unital -subalgebra is called -compatible, if ( 40 ) holds for all mutually orthogonal projectors from .
(cf. [ DW ] ) A symmetric quiver is a quiver endowed with an involution acting on both and such that
