For any Poisson manifold P , the Poisson bracket on C∞(P ) extends to a Lie bracket on the space Ω(P ) of all differential one-forms, under which the space Z(P ) of closed one-forms and the space B(P ) of exact one-forms are Lie subalgebras. These Lie algebras are related by the exact sequence: 0 −→ R −→ C∞(P ) d −→ Z(P ) f −→ H(P,R) −→ 0, where H(P,R) is considered as a trivial Lie algebra, an...
