Poisson manifold

In differential geometry, a Poisson structure on a smooth manifold is a Lie bracket (called a Poisson bracket in this special case) on the algebra of smooth functions on , subject to the Leibniz rule . Equivalently, defines a Lie algebra structure on the vector space of smooth functions on such that is a vector field for each smooth function (making into a Poisson algebra). Poisson structures are named after the French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson.
