In this note the long standing problem of the definition of a Poisson bracket in the framework of a multisymplectic formulation of classical field theory is solved. The new bracket operation can be applied to forms of arbitary degree.…
We introduce the concept of partial Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modelled on a convenient space. This is done by specifying a (weak) subbundle $T^{\prime}M$ of $T^{\ast}M$ and an antisymmetric morphism $P:T^{\prime}M\rightarrow TM$…
We explicitly construct several Poisson structures with compact support. For example, we show that any Poisson structure on $\R^n$ with polynomial coefficients of degree at most two can be modified outside an open ball, such that it becomes…
In this paper we consider structures of complex Poisson brackets on the space of smooth functions in a $n$-dimensional complex manifold generated by the $(1,1)$-form $d=\partial+\overline{\partial}$-closed and non-degenerate (with…
It is well known that functions in involution with respect to Poisson brackets have a privileged role in the theory of completely integrable systems. Finding functionally independent functions in involution with a given function $h$ on a…
Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $\mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $\mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on…
Extension of symplectic geometry on manifolds to the supersymmetric case is considered. In the even case it leads to the even symplectic geometry (or, equivalently, to the geometry on supermanifolds endowed with a non-degenerate Poisson…
We give a method to construct Poisson brackets $\{\cdot,\cdot\}$ on Banach manifolds~$M$, for which the value of $\{f,g\}$ at some point $m\in M$ may depend on higher order derivatives of the smooth functions $f,g\colon M\to{\mathbb R}$,…
Quadratic Poisson brackets on a vector space equipped with a bilinear multiplication are studied. A notion of a bracket compatible with the multiplication is introduced and an effective criterion of such compatibility is given. Among…
Let M be a paracompact differentiable manifold, A a local algebra and M^{A} a manifold of infinitely near points on M of kind A. We define the notion of A-Poisson manifold on M^{A}. We show that when M is a Poisson manifold, then M^{A} is…
We construct Poisson brackets at boundaries of open strings and membranes with constant background fields which are compatible with their boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are treated as primary constraints which give infinitely…
Given a symplectic form and a pseudo-riemannian metric on a manifold, a non degenerate even Poisson bracket on the algebra of differential forms is defined and its properties are studied. A comparison with the Koszul-Schouten bracket is…
We construct the family of algebroid brackets $[\cdot,\cdot]_{c,v}$ on the tangent bundle $T^*M$ to a Poisson manifold $(M,\pi)$ starting from an algebroid bracket of differential forms. We use these brackets to generate Poisson structures…
This paper is a fusion of a survey and a research article. We focus on certain rigidity phenomena in function spaces associated to a symplectic manifold. Our starting point is a lower bound obtained in an earlier paper with Zapolsky for the…
On a Poisson manifold endowed with a Riemannian metric we will construct a vector field that generalizes the double bracket vector field defined on semi-simple Lie algebras. On a regular symplectic leaf we will construct a generalization of…
Let $\mathsf{X}$ be the product of a complex projective space and a polydisc. We study Poisson brackets on $\mathsf{X}$ that are log symplectic, that is, generically symplectic and such that the inverse two-form has only first order poles.…
We construct a symplectic realization and a bi-hamiltonian formulation of a 3-dimensional system whose solution are the Jacobi elliptic functions. We generalize this system and the related Poisson brackets to higher dimensions. These more…
We construct nine pairwise compatible quadratic Poisson structures such that a generic linear combination of them is associated with an elliptic algebra in n generators. Explicit formulas for Casimir elements of this elliptic Poisson…
Some Poisson structures do admit resolutions by symplectic manifolds of the same dimension. We give examples and simple conditions under which such resolutions can not exist.
On any symplectic manifold of dimension greater than 2, we construct a pair of smooth functions, such that on the one hand, the uniform norm of their Poisson bracket equals to 1, but on the other hand, this pair cannot be reasonably…
