Associative algebra

In mathematics, an associative algebra is an algebraic structure with compatible operations of addition, multiplication (assumed to be associative), and a scalar multiplication by elements in some field.

Poisson manifold

In geometry, a Poisson structure on a smooth manifold M is a Lie bracket \ (called a Poisson bracket in this special case) on the algebra (M) of smooth functions on M, subject to the Leibniz rule Said in another manner, it is a Lie algebra structure on the vector space of smooth functions on M such that X_ \stackrel \: (M) \to (M) is a vector field for each smooth function f, which we call the Hamiltonian vector field associated to f. These vector fields span a completely integrable singular foliation, each of whose maximal integral sub-manifolds inherits a symplectic structure.
