It is shown that the Poisson structure related to $\kappa$-Poincar\'e group is dual to a certain Lie algebroid structure, the related Poisson structure on the (affine) Minkowski space is described in a geometric way.

Let $(M,\omega)$ be an almost symplectic manifold ($\omega$ is a non degenerate, not closed, 2-form). We say that a vector field $X$ of $M$ is locally Hamiltonian if $L_X\omega=0,d(i(X)\omega)=0$, and it is Hamiltonian if, furthermore, the…

We introduce symmetric Poisson structures as pairs consisting of a symmetric bivector field and a torsion-free connection satisfying an integrability condition analogous to that in usual Poisson geometry. Equivalent conditions in Poisson…

We introduce the concept of a variational tricomplex, which is applicable both to variational and non-variational gauge systems. Assigning this tricomplex with an appropriate symplectic structure and a Cauchy foliation, we establish a…

We construct explicitly a class of coboundary Poisson-Lie structures on the group of formal diffeomorphisms of ${\Bbb R}^n$. Equivalently, these give rise to a class of coboundary triangular Lie bialgebra structures on the Lie algebra $W_n$…

We implement an algorithm for the computation of Schouten bracket of weakly nonlocal Hamiltonian operators in three different computer algebra systems: Maple, Reduce and Mathematica. This class of Hamiltonian operators encompass almost all…

We consider compatibility conditions between Poisson and Riemannian structures on smooth manifolds by means of a contravariant partially complex structure, or $f$-structure, introducing the notion of (almost) K\"ahler--Poisson manifolds. In…

We consider some differential geometric classes of local and nonlocal Poisson and symplectic structures on loop spaces of smooth manifolds which give natural Hamiltonian and multihamiltonian representations for some important nonlinear…

It is well-known that a formal deformation of a commutative algebra ${\mathcal A}$ leads to a Poisson bracket on ${\mathcal A}$ and that the classical limit of a derivation on the deformation leads to a derivation on ${\mathcal A}$, which…

We present some basic results on a natural Poisson structure on any compact symmetric space. The symplectic leaves of this structure are related to the orbits of the corresponding real semisimple group on the complex flag manifold.

In the first part of the paper we introduce some geometric tools needed to describe slow-fast Hamiltonian systems on smooth manifolds. We start with a smooth Poisson bundle $p: M\to B$ of a regular (i.e. of constant rank) Poisson manifold…

We first exhibit two compatible Poisson structures on the cotangent bundle of the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ in such a way that the invariant functions of the $\mathfrak{u}(n)^*$-valued momenta generate a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy. One of…

Berwick-Evens and Lerman recently showed that the category of vector fields on a geometric stack has the structure of a Lie $2$-algebra. Motivated by this work, we present a construction of graded weak Lie $2$-algebras associated with…

In this paper we study associative algebras with a Poisson algebra structure on the center acting by derivations on the rest of the algebra. These structures, which we call Poisson fibred algebras, appear in the study of quantum groups at…

We study a formulation of the standard Poisson sigma model in which the target space Poisson manifold carries the Hamilton action of some finite dimensional Lie algebra. We show that the structure of the action and the properties of the…

Crawley-Boevey introduced the definition of a noncommutative Poisson structure on an associative algebra A that extends the notion of the usual Poisson bracket. Let V be a symplectic manifold and G be a finite group of symplectimorphisms of…

We give the analogue for Hopf algebras of the polyuble Lie bialgebra construction by Fock and Rosli. By applying this construction to the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group, we obtain a deformation quantization $\mathbb{C}_\hslash[(N \backslash…

A family of Poisson structures, parametrised by an arbitrary odd periodic function $\phi$, is defined on the space $\cW$ of twisted polygons in $\RR^\nu$. Poisson reductions with respect to two Poisson group actions on $\cW$ are described.…

On a foliated manifold equipped with an action of a compact Lie group $G$, we study a class of almost-coupling Poisson and Dirac structures, in the context of deformation theory and the method of averaging.
