For a discrete mechanical system on a Lie group $G$ determined by a (reduced) Lagrangian $\ell$ we define a Poisson structure via the pull-back of the Lie-Poisson structure on the dual of the Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}^*$ by the…

Starting with a Lie algebroid ${\cal A}$ over a space $M$ we lift its action to the canonical transformations on the affine bundle ${\cal R}$ over the cotangent bundle $T^*M$. Such lifts are classified by the first cohomology $H^1({\cal…

We present the classical Poisson-Lichnerowicz cohomology for the Poisson algebra of polynomials $\mathbb{C}[X_{1},..., X_{n}]$ using exterior calculus. After presenting some non homogeneous Poisson brackets on this algebra, we compute…

As a generalization of the linear Poisson bracket on the dual space of a Lie algebra, we introduce certain non-linear Poisson brackets which are ``cocycle perturbations'' of the linear Poisson bracket. We show that these special Poisson…

Let $M^{2n}$ be a Poisson manifold with Poisson bivector field $\Pi$. We say that $M$ is b-Poisson if the map $\Pi^n:M\to\Lambda^{2n}(TM)$ intersects the zero section transversally on a codimension one submanifold $Z\subset M$. This paper…

In this paper we propose a procedure for a noncommutative derived Poisson reduction, in the spirit of the Kontsevich-Rosenberg principle: "a noncommutative structure of some kind on $A$ should give an analogous commutative structure on all…

In this paper, we generalize the geometry of the product pseudo-Riemannian manifold equipped with the product Poisson structure (\cite{Nas2}) to the geometry of a warped product of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds equipped with a warped Poisson…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. We denote by $\nabla^0$ the torsion free bi-invariant linear connection on $G$ given by $\nabla^0_XY=\frac12[X,Y],$ for any left invariant vector fields $X,Y$. A Poisson…

The Poisson structure is constructed for a model in which spatial coordinates of configuration space are noncommutative and satisfy the commutation relations of a Lie algebra. The case is specialized to that of the group SU(2), for which…

We develop a geometric approach to Poisson electrodynamics, that is, the semi-classical limit of noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theory. Our framework is based on an integrating symplectic groupoid for the underlying Poisson brackets, which we…

Given a Poisson structure (or, equivalently, a Hamiltonian operator) $P$, we show that its Lie derivative $L_{\tau}(P)$ along a vector field $\tau$ defines another Poisson structure, which is automatically compatible with $P$, if and only…

Let $G$ be a Lie group with a biinvariant metric, not necessarily positive definite. It is shown that a certain construction carried out in an earlier paper for the fundamental group of a closed surface may be extended to an arbitrary…

Let Spec(A) be an affine derived stack. We give two proofs of the existence of a canonical map from the moduli space of shifted Poisson structures (in the sense of Pantev-To\"en-Vaqui\'e-Vezzosi, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.3209 ) on…

In this paper we develop an abstract setup for hamiltonian group actions as follows: Starting with a continuous 2-cochain $\omega$ on a Lie algebra $h$ with values in an $h$-module $V$, we associate subalgebras $sp(h,\omega) \supeq…

It is shown in this paper how a connection may be made between the symmetry generators of the Hamiltonian (or potential) invariant under a symmetry group $G$, and the subcasimirs that come about when the rank of the Poisson structure of a…

The graph complex acts on the spaces of Poisson bi-vectors $P$ by infinitesimal symmetries. We prove that whenever a Poisson structure is homogeneous, i.e. $P = L_{\vec{V}}(P)$ w.r.t. the Lie derivative along some vector field $\vec{V}$,…

We construct a two-dimensional topological sigma model whose target space is endowed with a Poisson algebra for differential forms. The model consists of an equal number of bosonic and fermionic fields of worldsheet form degrees zero and…

In this paper, we consider the hamiltonian formulation of nonholonomic systems with symmetries and study several aspects of the geometry of their reduced almost Poisson brackets, including the integrability of their characteristic…

The purpose of this paper is to give a semi-local study along generic closed curves of zeros: we formally classify Poisson structures defined in a neighborhood of Gamma:=S^1x{0} in S^1xR^n, that vanish on Gamma, and whose linear…

In this paper we extend the almost complex Poisson structures from almost complex manifolds to almost complex Lie algebroids. Examples of such structures are also given and the almost complex Poisson morphisms of almost complex Lie…
