A class of Poisson structures compatible with the canonical Poisson structure on the cotangent bundle (Q2431138)

This paper studies Poisson structures compatible with the canonical Poisson structure on the cotangent bundle. Let us recall that the property of being Hamiltonian with respect to two compatible Poisson structures was introduced by Magri in 1978. This notion is extremely important in Hamiltonian mechanic. In this work, the authors consider the Lie algebroid structure on \(T^*M\) where \(M\) is a smooth manifold endowed with a Poisson tensor and a Riemannian metric. This Lie algebroid defines by duality a Poisson tensor on \(TM\). The authors give a complete description of the Poisson structures compatible with the Poisson structure on \(TM\). Finally, examples are given.
