Poisson-Gerstenhaber brackets in representation algebras (Q2253047)

This paper generalizes Van den Bergh's Poisson brackets in representation algebras. Let us recall that double Poisson algebras were introduced by Van den Bergh as a non-commutative version of Poisson geometry. In this work, the author's purpose is to generalize Van den Bergh's construction to a wider class of commutative algebras. To this end, the author introduces cycle bilinear forms on coalgebras. An equivariant version is obtained and connections with the topology of surfaces are finally discussed.
