Abstract: We study the tangential Poisson cohomology (TP-cohomology) of regular Poisson manifolds, first defined by Lichnerowicz using contravariant tensor fields. We show that for a regular Poisson manifold M, the TP-cohomology coincides with the leafwise de Rham (or Cech) cohomology of the symplectic foliation of M. Its computation in various degrees leads to open, non trivial problems. To get a better understanding of these difficulties, we study explicitly many examples coming from nilpotent and 3-dimensional (real) Lie algebras. For the latter, we compare the TP-cohomology and the usual Poisson cohomology (P-cohomology).


A star product on a Poisson manifold \(M\) is called tangential if it restricts nicely to the symplectic leaves of \(M\). Tangential star products are governed by the tangential Poisson cohomology first introduced by A. Lichnerowicz. The author recalls some known results on tangential Poisson cohomology and shows that for a regular Poisson manifold, the tangential Poisson cohomology coincides with the leafwise de Rham (or Čech) cohomology of the associated symplectic foliation. Computing the spaces of such a cohomology leads to open and nontrivial problems. To get a better understanding of these difficulties the author studies explicitely many examples coming from nilpotent and \(3\)-dimensional Lie algebras and compares the tangential Poisson cohomology and the usual Poisson cohomology.
