Jacobi and Poisson algebras (Q5963572)

Summary: Jacobi/Poisson algebras are algebraic counterparts of Jacobi/Poisson manifolds. We introduce representations of a Jacobi algebra \(A\) and Frobenius Jacobi algebras as symmetric objects in the category. A characterization theorem for Frobenius Jacobi algebras is given in terms of integrals on Jacobi algebras. For a vector space \(V\) a non-abelian cohomological type object \(\mathcal{JH}^2 (V,A)\) is constructed: it classifies all Jacobi algebras containing \(A\) as a sub algebra of codimension equal to \(\dim(V)\). Representations of \(A\) are used in order to give the decomposition of \(\mathcal{JH}^2(V,A)\) as a coproduct over all Jacobi \(A\)-module structures on \(V\). The bicrossed product \(P \bowtie Q\) of two Poisson algebras recently introduced by \textit{X. Ni} and \textit{C.-M. Bai} [J. Math. Phys. 54, No. 2, 023515, 14 p. (2013; Zbl 1290.17019)] appears as a special case of our construction. A new type of deformations of a given Poisson algebra \(Q\) is introduced and a cohomological type object \(\mathcal{HA}^2\bigl(P,\, Q | (\triangleleft, \, \triangleright, \, \leftharpoonup, \,\rightharpoonup)\bigl)\) is explicitly constructed as a classifying set for the bicrossed descent problem for extensions of Poisson algebras. Several examples and applications are provided.
