Double Poisson cohomology of path algebras of quivers (Q2425434)

This paper introduces and studies the notion of double Poisson-Lichnerowicz cohomology for double Poisson algebras. Let us recall that double Poisson algebras were introduced as a generalization of classical Poisson geometry to the setting of noncommutative geometry. As in the classical case, the authors define a Poisson cohomology in this context. They then give an explicit formulation of the Gerstenhaber algebra of poly-vectorfields for the path algebra of a quiver in terms of its graded necklace Lie algebra equipped with a graded version of the Kontsevich bracket. Several usefull methods for the computation of the double Poisson-Lichnerowicz are obtained. Explicit examples are also given.
