We study the Gerstenhaber bracket on differential forms induced by the two main examples of Jacobi manifolds: contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of the generating operators and the derivations on the algebra of multivector fields. We define star operator
We observe that a term of the WZW-type can be added to the Lagrangian of the Poisson Ο -model in such a way that the algebra of the first class constraints remains closed. This leads to a natural generalization of the concept of Poisson geometry. The resulting "WZW-Poisson" manifold M is characteriz
Recently, Zhu and Qin [1] addressed the question of numerically integrating Poisson systems with constant Poisson soructure. They concluded that among the symplectic Runge-Kutta (RK) methods, only the diagonally implicit ones are Poisson. In fact, they all are. RK methods are equivariant under linea
Reduction in the category of Poisson manifolds is defined and some basic properties are derived. The context is chosen to include the usual theorems on reduction of symplectic manifolds, as well as results such as the Dirac bracket and the reduction to the Lie-Poisson bracket.
