[edit] Disambiguation
Regarding the statement that "the smooth functions on a symplectic manifold are naturally a Poisson algebra" (paraphrase): I changed the link from Symplectic space to Symplectic manifold since manifolds are the objects with smooth functions, and 'symplectic space' refers (at least in WP) to either symplectic vector space or symplectic manifold. The natural domain of the "smooth functions on" functor is the category of manifolds, so it seems to be unambiguous. Sympleko 19:07, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Additions?
Perhaps a discussion of non-constant Poisson structures (or brackets) would be helpful. The page on Moyal products mentioned the condition "constant Poisson structure" (paraphrase), and it seems like this page would be the right one to describe what that means. arichar6 6 Sep 2005
[edit] a link to poisson algebras in the "see also" section
Why is there a link to "superPoisson algebra"-s but not to "Poisson algebra"-s? I don't quite understand how the former are closer related.
- Poisson algebra is linked from the second sentence at the top of the article, so does not need a "see also" link. -lethe talk + 04:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
