Abstract

We construct explicitly a class of coboundary Poisson-Lie structures on the group of formal diffeomorphisms of Rn{\Bbb R}^n. Equivalently, these give rise to a class of coboundary triangular Lie bialgebra structures on the Lie algebra WnW_n of formal vector fields on Rn{\Bbb R}^n. We conjecture that this class accounts for all such coboundary structures. The natural action of the constructed Poisson-Lie diffeomorphism groups induces large classes of compatible Poisson structures on Rn{\Bbb R}^n, thus making it a Poisson homogeneous space. Moreover, the left-right action of the Poisson-Lie groups FDiff(Rm)×FDiff(Rn)FDiff({\Bbb R}^m)\times FDiff({\Bbb R}^n) induces classes of compatible Poisson structures on the space J(Rm,Rn)J^{\infty}({\Bbb R}^m,{\Bbb R}^n) of infinite jets of smooth maps RmRn{\Bbb R}^m\to {\Bbb R}^n, which makes it also a Poisson homogeneous space for this action. Initial steps towards classification of these structures are taken.
