Abstract: Noncommutatively deformed geometries, such as the noncommutative torus, do not exist generically. I showed in a previous paper that the existence of such a deformation implies compatibility conditions between the classical metric and the Poisson bivector (which characterizes the noncommutativity). Here I present another necessary condition: the vanishing of a certain rank 5 tensor. In the case of a compact Riemannian manifold, I use these conditions to prove that the Poisson bivector can be constructed locally from commuting Killing vectors.

Review text

The author continues his studies on geometrical structures associated with noncommutative deformations of Riemannian manifolds, originated in an earlier paper [Commun. Math. Phys. 246, No. 2, 211--235 (2004; Zbl 1055.58001)]. He proves that one obstruction for such a deformation is the vanishing of a certain rank 5 tensor (called metacurvature) constructed out of a flat contravariant connection associated with the induced Poisson bracket on the Grassmann algebra of differential forms. Together with the obstructions considered in the previous paper this leads to a structure consisting of a Riemannian tensor and a Poisson tensor satisfying certain compatibility conditions. It is proved that, in the case of a compact Riemannian manifold, the Poisson tensor can be constructed locally from commuting Killing vectors and a general construction of geometric deformations for any compatible Poisson structure is sketched. Finally, a few examples of compatible Poisson structures on Riemannian manifolds are given.
