Abstract

The graph complex acts on the spaces of Poisson bi-vectors PP by infinitesimal symmetries. We prove that whenever a Poisson structure is homogeneous, i.e. P=LV(P)P = L_{\vec{V}}(P) w.r.t. the Lie derivative along some vector field V\vec{V}, but not quadratic (the coefficients of PP are not degree-two homogeneous polynomials), and whenever its velocity bi-vector P˙=Q(P)\dot{P}=Q(P), also homogeneous w.r.t. V\vec{V} by LV(Q)=nQL_{\vec{V}}(Q)=n\cdot Q whenever Q(P)=Or(γ)(Pn)Q(P)= Or(\gamma)(P^{\otimes^n}) is obtained using the orientation morphism OrOr from a graph cocycle γ\gamma on nn vertices and 2n22n-2 edges in each term, then the 11-vector X=Or(γ)(VPn1)\vec{X}=Or(\gamma)(\vec{V}\otimes P^{\otimes^{n-1}}) is a Poisson cocycle. Its construction is uniform for all Poisson bi-vectors PP satisfying the above assumptions, on all finite-dimensional affine manifolds MM. Still, if the bi-vector Q≢0Q\not\equiv 0 is exact in the respective Poisson cohomology, so there exists a vector field Y\vec{Y} such that Q(P)=[ ⁣[Y,P] ⁣]Q(P)=[\![\vec{Y},P]\!], then the universal cocycle X\vec{X} does not belong to the coset of Y\vec{Y} mod ker[ ⁣[P,] ⁣]\ker[\![P,\cdot]\!]. We illustrate the construction using two examples of cubic-coefficient Poisson brackets associated with the RR-matrices for the Lie algebra gl(2)\mathfrak{gl}(2). Keywords: Graph complex, Poisson bracket, deformation cohomology, affine manifold, tetrahedral flow, diffeomorphism.
