The derivation d T on the exterior algebra of forms on a manifold M with values in the exterior algebra of forms on the tangent bundle T M is extended to multivector fields. These tangent lifts are studied with applications to the theory of Poisson structures, their symplectic foliations, canonical vector fields and Poisson-Lie groups. 0. Introduction. A derivation d T on the exterior algebra o...

A nonzero 2-cocycle Γ ∈ Z(g,R) on the Lie algebra g of a compact Lie group G defines a twisted version of the Lie-Poisson structure on the dual Lie algebra g∗, leading to a Poisson algebra C∞(g∗(Γ)). Similarly, a multiplier c ∈ Z (G, U(1)) on G which is smooth near the identity defines a twist in the convolution product on G, encoded by the twisted group C∗algebra C∗(G, c). Further to some supe...

A Poisson analog of the Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence is established for any affine Poisson algebra R on which an algebraic torus H acts rationally, by Poisson automorphisms, such that R has only finitely many prime Poisson H-stable ideals. In this setting, an additional characterization of the Poisson primitive ideals of R is obtained – they are precisely the prime Poisson ideals maximal in thei...

Non-commutative Poisson algebras are the algebras having an associative algebra structure and a Lie structure together with the Leibniz law. The non-commutative Poisson algebra structures on the infinite-dimensional algebras are studied. We show that these structures are standard on the poset subalgebras of the associative algebra of all endomorphisms of the countable-dimensional vector space T...

It is shown that the elliptic algebra Aq,p(sl(2)c) at the critical level c = −2 has a multidimensional center containing some trace-like operators t(z). A family of Poisson structures indexed by a non-negative integer and containing the q-deformed Virasoro algebra is constructed on this center. We show also that t(z) close an exchange algebra when p m = q c+2 for m ∈ Z, they commute when in add...

We study the Poisson (co)homology of the algebra of truncated polynomials in two variables viewed as the semi-classical limit of a quantum complete intersection studied by Bergh and Erdmann. We show in particular that the Poisson cohomology ring of such a Poisson algebra is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology ring of the corresponding quantum complete intersection.

For a Banach algebra $A$, $A''$ is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable if $A'$ is a Banach $A''$-bimodule and $H^1(A'',A')={0}$. In this paper, among other things,  we study the relationships between the $(-1)$-Weakly amenability of $A''$ and the weak amenability of $A''$ or $A$. Moreover, we show that the second dual of every $C^ast$-algebra is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable.
