Equivalences of higher derived brackets

This note elaborates on Th. Voronov’s construction [Th. Voronov, Higher derived brackets and homotopy algebras, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 202 (1-3) (2005) 133-153; Th. Voronov, Higher derived brackets for arbitrary derivations, Travaux Math. XVI (2005) 163-186] of L_∞-structures via higher derived brackets with a Maurer-Cartan element. It is shown that gauge equivalent Maurer-Cartan elements induce L_∞-isomorphic structures. Applications in symplectic, Poisson and Dirac geometry are discussed.     

Jordan Superalgebras Defined by Brackets

Jordan superalgebras defined by brackets on associative commutativesuperalgebras are studied. It is proved that any such superalgebrais imbedded into a superalgebra defined by Poisson brackets.In particular, all Jordan superalgebras of brackets are i-special.The speciality of these superalgebras is also examined, andit is proved, in particular, that the Cheng–Kac superalgebrais special.     

Bi-Hamiltonian structures and singularities of integrable systems

A Hamiltonian system on a Poisson manifold M is called integrable if it possesses sufficiently many commuting first integrals f ₁, … f _s which are functionally independent on M almost everywhere. We study the structure of the singular set K where the differentials df ₁, …, df _s become linearly dependent and show that in the case of bi-Hamiltonian systems this structure is closely related to the properties of the corresponding pencil of compatible Poisson brackets. The main goal of the paper is to illustrate this relationship and to show that the bi-Hamiltonian approach can be extremely effective in the study of singularities of integrable systems, especially in the case of many degrees of freedom when using other methods leads to serious computational problems. Since in many examples the underlying bi-Hamiltonian structure has a natural algebraic interpretation, the technology developed in this paper allows one to reformulate analytic and topological questions related to the dynamics of a given system into pure algebraic language, which leads to simple and natural answers.     

Poisson brackets of mappings obtained as (<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>,−<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>) reductions of lattice equations

In this paper, we present Poisson brackets of certain classes of mappings obtained as general periodic reductions of integrable lattice equations. The Poisson brackets are derived from a Lagrangian, using the so-called Ostrogradsky transformation. The (q,?p) reductions are (p + q)-dimensional maps and explicit Poisson brackets for such reductions of the discrete KdV equation, the discrete Lotka–Volterra equation, and the discrete Liouville equation are included. Lax representations of these equations can be used to construct sufficiently many integrals for the reductions. As examples we show that the (3,?2) reductions of the integrable partial difference equations are Liouville integrable in their own right.     

Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree

A Poisson algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a commutative associative product in such a way that the Lie and associative products are compatible via a Leibniz rule. If we part from a Lie color algebra, instead of a Lie algebra, a graded-commutative associative product and a graded-version Leibniz rule we get a so-called Poisson color algebra (of degree zero). This concept can be extended to any degree, so as to obtain the class of Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree. This class turns out to be a wide class of algebras containing the ones of Lie color algebras (and so Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras), Poisson algebras, graded Poisson algebras, z-Poisson algebras, Gerstenhaber algebras, and Schouten algebras among other classes of algebras. The present paper is devoted to the study of structure of Poisson color algebras of degree g₀, where g₀ is some element of the grading group G such that g₀ = 0 or 4g₀≠0, and with restrictions neither on the dimension nor the base field, by stating a second Wedderburn-type theorem for this class of algebras.     

The classification of nonsingular multidimensional Dubrovin-Novikov brackets

In this paper, the well-known Dubrovin-Novikov problem posed as long ago as in 1984 in connection with the Hamiltonian theory of systems of hydrodynamic type, namely, the classification problem for multidimensional Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type, is solved. In contrast to the one-dimensional case, in the general case, a nondegenerate multidimensional Poisson bracket of hydrodynamic type cannot be reduced to a constant form by a local change of coordinates. Generally speaking, such Poisson brackets are generated by nontrivial canonical special infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. In this paper, we obtain a classification of all nonsingular nondegenerate multidimensional Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type for any number N of components and for any dimension n by differential-geometric methods. A key role in the solution of this problem is played by the theory of compatible metrics earlier constructed by the present author.     

Realization of Poisson enveloping algebra

For a Poisson algebra, the category of Poisson modules is equivalent to the module category of its Poisson enveloping algebra, where the Poisson enveloping algebra is an associative one. In this article, for a Poisson structure on a polynomial algebra S, we first construct a Poisson algebra R, then prove that the Poisson enveloping algebra of S is isomorphic to the specialization of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of R, and therefore, is a deformation quantization of R.     

Error diffusion on acute simplices: invariant tiles

Using the notion of compatibility between Poisson brackets and cluster structures in the coordinate rings of simple Lie groups, Gekhtman, Shapiro and Vainshtein conjectured the existence of a cluster structure for each Belavin-Drinfeld solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation compatible with the corresponding Poisson-Lie bracket on the simple Lie group. Poisson-Lie groups are classified by the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of solutions to the classical Yang-Baxter equation. For any non-trivial Belavin-Drinfeld data of minimal size for SL _n , the companion paper constructed a cluster structure with a locally regular initial seed, which was proved to be compatible with the Poisson bracket associated with that Belavin-Drinfeld data.This paper proves the rest of the conjecture: the corresponding upper cluster algebra \(\overline {{A_\mathbb{C}}} \left( C \right)\) is naturally isomorphie to O (SL _n ), the torus determined by the BD triple generates the action of \({\left( {\mathbb{C}*} \right)^{2{k_T}}}\) on C (SL _n ), and the correspondence between Belavin-Drinfeld classes and cluster structures is one to one.     

Poisson geometry of directed networks in a disk

We investigate Poisson properties of Postnikov’s map from the space of edge weights of a planar directed network into the Grassmannian. We show that this map is Poisson if the space of edge weights is equipped with a representative of a 6-parameter family of universal quadratic Poisson brackets and the Grassmannian is viewed as a Poisson homogeneous space of the general linear group equipped with an appropriate R-matrix Poisson–Lie structure. We also prove that the Poisson brackets on the Grassmannian arising in this way are compatible with the natural cluster algebra structure.      

Rankin-Cohen brackets and formal quantization

In this paper, we use the theory of deformation quantization to understand Connes' and Moscovici's results [A. Connes, H. Moscovici, Rankin-Cohen brackets and the Hopf algebra of transverse geometry, Mosc. Math. J. 4 (1) (2004) 111-130, 311]. We use Fedosov's method of deformation quantization of symplectic manifolds to reconstruct Zagier's deformation [D. Zagier, Modular forms and differential operators, in: K.G. Ramanathan Memorial Issue, Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. Math. Sci. 104 (1) (1994) 57-75] of modular forms, and relate this deformation to the Weyl-Moyal product. We also show that the projective structure introduced by Connes and Moscovici is equivalent to the existence of certain geometric data in the case of foliation groupoids. Using the methods developed by the second author [X. Tang, Deformation quantization of pseudo (symplectic) Poisson groupoids, Geom. Funct. Anal. 16 (3) (2006) 731-766], we reconstruct a universal deformation formula of the Hopf algebra H₁ associated to codimension one foliations. In the end, we prove that the first Rankin-Cohen bracket RC₁ defines a noncommutative Poisson structure for an arbitrary H₁ action.     

Exotic cluster structures on <Emphasis Type="Italic">SL</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> with Belavin–Drinfeld data of minimal size,I. The structure

Using the notion of compatibility between Poisson brackets and cluster structures in the coordinate rings of simple Lie groups, Gekhtman, Shapiro and Vainshtein conjectured the existence of a cluster structure for each Belavin-Drinfeld solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation compatible with the corresponding Poisson-Lie bracket on the simple Lie group. Poisson-Lie groups are classified by the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of solutions to the classical Yang-Baxter equation. For any non-trivial Belavin-Drinfeld data of minimal size for SL _n , we give an algorithm for constructing an initial seed ∑ in O (SL _n ). The cluster structure C = C (∑) is then proved to be compatible with the Poisson bracket associated with that Belavin-Drinfeld data, and the seed ∑ is locally regular.This is the first of two papers. The second one proves the rest of the conjecture: the upper cluster algebra \(\overline {{A_\mathbb{C}}} \left( C \right)\) is naturally isomorphic to O (SL _n ), and the correspondence between Belavin-Drinfeld classes and cluster structures is one to one.     

Moment vanishing properties of harmonic Bergman functions

We show that Poisson integrals belonging to certain weighted harmonic Bergman spaces b_δ^p on the upper half-space must have the moment vanishing properties. As an application, we show that b₀^p, p?1, contains a dense subspace whose members have the horizontal moment vanishing properties. Also, we derive related weighted norm inequalities for Poisson integrals. As a consequence, we obtain a characterization for Poisson integrals of continuous functions with compact support in order to belong to b_δ^p.     

Some Poisson structures and Lax equations associated with the Toeplitz lattice and the Schur lattice

The Toeplitz lattice is a Hamiltonian system whose Poisson structure is known. In this paper, we unveil the origins of this Poisson structure and derive from it the associated Lax equations for this lattice. We first construct a Poisson subvariety H _n of GL _n (C), which we view as a real or complex Poisson–Lie group whose Poisson structure comes from a quadratic R-bracket on gl _n (C) for a fixed R-matrix. The existence of Hamiltonians, associated to the Toeplitz lattice for the Poisson structure on H _n , combined with the properties of the quadratic R-bracket allow us to give explicit formulas for the Lax equation. Then we derive from it the integrability in the sense of Liouville of the Toeplitz lattice. When we view the lattice as being defined over R, we can construct a Poisson subvariety H _n ^τ of U _n which is itself a Poisson–Dirac subvariety of GL _n ^R (C). We then construct a Hamiltonian for the Poisson structure induced on H _n ^τ , corresponding to another system which derives from the Toeplitz lattice the modified Schur lattice. Thanks to the properties of Poisson–Dirac subvarieties, we give an explicit Lax equation for the new system and derive from it a Lax equation for the Schur lattice. We also deduce the integrability in the sense of Liouville of the modified Schur lattice.     

Geodesic flows and Neumann systems on Stiefel varieties: geometry and integrability

We study integrable geodesic flows on Stiefel varieties V _n,r ?=?SO(n)/SO(n?r) given by the Euclidean, normal (standard), Manakov-type, and Einstein metrics. We also consider natural generalizations of the Neumann systems on V _n,r with the above metrics and proves their integrability in the non-commutative sense by presenting compatible Poisson brackets on (T ^* V _n,r )/SO(r). Various reductions of the latter systems are described, in particular, the generalized Neumann system on an oriented Grassmannian G _n,r and on a sphere S ^n?1 in presence of Yang–Mills fields or a magnetic monopole field. Apart from the known Lax pair for generalized Neumann systems, an alternative (dual) Lax pair is presented, which enables one to formulate a generalization of the Chasles theorem relating the trajectories of the systems and common linear spaces tangent to confocal quadrics. Additionally, several extensions are considered: the generalized Neumann system on the complex Stiefel variety W _n,r ?=?U(n)/U(n?r), the matrix analogs of the double and coupled Neumann systems.

The Liouville Canonical Form for Compatible Nonlocal Poisson Brackets of Hydrodynamic Type and Integrable Hierarchies

We reduce an arbitrary pair of compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type generated by metrics of constant Riemannian curvature (compatible Mokhov–Ferapontov brackets) to a canonical form, find an integrable system describing all such pairs, and, for an arbitrary solution of this integrable system, i.e., for any pair of compatible Poisson brackets in question, construct (in closed form) integrable bi-Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type possessing this pair of compatible Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type. The corresponding special canonical forms of metrics of constant Riemannian curvature are considered. A theory of special Liouville coordinates for Poisson brackets is developed. We prove that the classification of these compatible Poisson brackets is equivalent to the classification of special Liouville coordinates for Mokhov–Ferapontov brackets.     

Lie algebras and algebras of associative type

In the paper, some properties of algebras of associative type are studied, and these properties are then used to describe the structure of finite-dimensional semisimple modular Lie algebras. It is proved that the homogeneous radical of any finite-dimensional algebra of associative type coincides with the kernel of some form induced by the trace function with values in a polynomial ring. This fact is used to show that every finite-dimensional semisimple algebra of associative type A = ⊕ _αεG A _α graded by some group G, over a field of characteristic zero, has a nonzero component A ₁ (where 1 stands for the identity element of G), and A ₁ is a semisimple associative algebra. Let B = ⊕ _αεG B _α be a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra over a prime field F _p , and let B be graded by a commutative group G. If B = F _p ? _? A _L , where A _L is the commutator algebra of a ?-algebra A = ⊕ _αεG A _α ; if ? ? _? A is an algebra of associative type, then the 1-component of the algebra K ? _? B, where K stands for the algebraic closure of the field F _p , is the sum of some algebras of the form gl(n _i ,K).
