The super or Z_2-graded Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket is introduced. Using it, new generalized super-Poisson structures are found which are given in terms of certain graded-skew-symmetric contravariant tensors \Lambda of even order. The…
New generalized Poisson structures are introduced by using skew-symmetric contravariant tensors of even order. The corresponding `Jacobi identities' are given by the vanishing of the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. As an example, we provide the…
It is shown that two definitions for an exterior differential in superspace, giving the same exterior calculus, yet lead to different results when applied to the Poisson bracket. A prescription for the transition with the help of these…

The Schouten bracket (or antibracket) plays a central role in the Poisson formalism and the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization of gauge systems. There are several (in)equivalent ways to realize this concept on jet spaces. In this paper, we…
The Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket on smooth infinite-dimensional manifolds $M$ is developed in two steps: For summable multivector fields whose pointwise dual are all differential form, and in an extended form for multivector fields which are…
We generalize Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. We prove that on a manifold endowed with a Nijenhuis tensor and a Jacobi structure which are compatible, there is a hierarchy of pairwise compatible Jacobi structures. Furthermore, we study the…
It is shown how derived brackets naturally arise in sigma-models via Poisson- or antibracket, generalizing a recent observation by Alekseev and Strobl. On the way to a precise formulation of this relation, an explicit coordinate expression…
The standard definition of the Poisson brackets is generalized to the non-equal-time Poisson brackets. Their relationship to the equal-time Poisson brackets, as well as to the equal- and non-equal-time commutators, is discussed.
We explore variational Poisson-Nijenhuis structures on nonlinear PDEs and establish relations between Schouten and Nijenhuis brackets on the initial equation with the Lie bracket of symmetries on its natural extensions (coverings). This…
It is shown that two definitions for the exterior differential in superspace, giving the same exterior calculus, when applied to the Poisson bracket lead to the different results. Examples of the even and odd linear brackets, corresponding…
Recently it has been shown that antibrackets may be expressed in terms of Poisson brackets and vice versa for commuting functions in the original bracket. Here we also introduce generalized brackets involving higher antibrackets or higher…
Generalized Schouten, Froelicher-Nijenhuis and Froelicher-Richardson brackets are defined for an arbitrary Lie algebroid. Tangent and cotangent lifts of Lie algebroids are introduced and discussed and the behaviour of the related graded Lie…
There is a canonical mapping from the space of sections of the bundle $\wedge T^\ast M\otimes ST\ M$ to $\Omega(T^\ast M ; T(T^\ast M))$. It is shown that this is a homomorphism on $\Omega(M;TM) for the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis brackets, and…
Cohomology spaces of the Poisson superalgebra realized on smooth Grassmann-valued functions with compact support on R^2 are investigated under suitable continuity restrictions on cochains. The zeroth, first, and second cohomology spaces in…
Nijenhuis tensors $N$ on Courant algebroids compatible with the pairing are studied. This compatibility condition turns out to be of the form $N+N^*=aI$ for irreducible Courant algebroids, in particular for the extended tangent bundles…
