Abstract

We consider a skew-symmetric nn-ary bracket on the polynomial algebra K[x1,,xn,xn+1]K[x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_{n+1}] (n2n\geq 2) over a field KK of characteristic zero defined by {a1,,an}=J(a1,,an,C)\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}=J(a_1,\ldots,a_n,C), where CC is a fixed element of K[x1,,xn,xn+1]K[x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_{n+1}] and JJ is the Jacobian. If n=2n=2 then this bracket is a Poisson bracket and if n3n\geq 3 then it is an nn-Lie-Poisson bracket on K[x1,,xn,xn+1]K[x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_{n+1}]. We describe the center of the corresponding nn-Lie-Poisson algebra and show that the quotient algebra K[x1,,xn,xn+1]/(Cλ)K[x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_{n+1}]/(C-\lambda), where (Cλ)(C-\lambda) is the ideal generated by CλC-\lambda, 0λK0\neq \lambda \in K, is a simple central nn-Lie-Poisson algebra if CC is a homogeneous polynomial that is not a proper power of any nonzero polynomial. This construction includes the quotients P(sl2(K))/(Cλ)P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C-\lambda) of the Poisson enveloping algebra P(sl2(K))P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K)) of the simple Lie algebra sl2(K)\mathrm{sl}_2(K), where CC is the standard Casimir element of sl2(K)\mathrm{sl}_2(K) in P(sl2(K))P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K)). It is also proven that the quotients P(M)/(Cλ)P(\mathbb{M})/(C-\lambda) of the Poisson enveloping algebra P(M)P(\mathbb{M}) of the exceptional simple seven dimensional Malcev algebra M\mathbb{M} are central simple.
