Abstract

Let PP be a Poisson structure on a finite-dimensional affine real manifold. Can PP be deformed in such a way that it stays Poisson? The language of Kontsevich graphs provides a universal approach -- with respect to all affine Poisson manifolds -- to finding a class of solutions to this deformation problem. For that reasoning, several types of graphs are needed. In this paper we outline the algorithms to generate those graphs. The graphs that encode deformations are classified by the number of internal vertices kk; for k4k \leqslant 4 we present all solutions of the deformation problem. For k5k \geqslant 5, first reproducing the pentagon-wheel picture suggested at k=6k=6 by Kontsevich and Willwacher, we construct the heptagon-wheel cocycle that yields a new unique solution without 22-loops and tadpoles at k=8k=8.
