Applications of Poisson cohomology to the inducibility problems and study of deformation maps (2504.06760v1)

Abstract: This paper provides some applications of the Poisson cohomology groups introduced by Flato, Gerstenhaber and Voronov. Given an abelian extension of a Poisson algebra by a representation, we first investigate the inducibility of a pair of Poisson algebra automorphisms and show that the corresponding obstruction lies in the second Poisson cohomology group. Consequently, we obtain the Wells exact sequence connecting various automorphism groups and the second Poisson cohomology group. Subsequently, we also consider the inducibility for a pair of Poisson algebra derivations, obtain the obstruction and construct the corresponding Wells-type exact sequence. To get another application, we introduce the notion of a `deformation map' in a proto-twilled Poisson algebra. A deformation map unifies various well-known operators such as Poisson homomorphisms, Poisson derivations, crossed homomorphisms, Rota-Baxter operators of any weight, twisted Rota-Baxter operators, Reynolds operators and modified Rota-Baxter operators on Poisson algebras. We show that a deformation map $r$ induces a new Poisson algebra structure and a suitable representation of it. The corresponding Poisson cohomology is defined to be the cohomology of the deformation map $r$. Finally, we study the formal deformations of the operator $r$ in terms of the cohomology.
