Kontsevich graphs act on Nambu--Poisson brackets, IV. When the invisible becomes crucial
Abstract
Kontsevich's graphs allow encoding multi-vectors whose coefficients are differential-polynomial in the coefficients of a given Poisson bracket on an affine real manifold. Encoding formulas by directed graphs adapts to the class of Nambu-determinant Poisson brackets, yet the graph topology becomes dimension-specific. To inspect whether a given Kontsevich graph cocycle acts (non)trivially -- in the second Poisson cohomology -- on the space of Nambu brackets, taking a vector field solution from dimension does not work in . For , the action of tetrahedron on Nambu brackets is known to be a Poisson coboundary, . We explore which minimal (sub)sets of graphs, encoding (non)vanishing objects over , generate the topological data that suffice for a solution to appear. We detect that there can be no solution in higher dimension without invisible graphs that vanish as formulas in , but whose descendants do not all vanish over .
