<p>Hi!</p>
<p>Given two Poisson tensors $\pi_0$ and $\pi$ (on a Lie group $G$) ; if the two tensors are compatible, i.e.
$$[\pi_0,\pi]=0$$
what are the relations between their hamiltonians ?</p>
<p>If we denote by $X_f$ and $H_f$ the hamiltonians of $f\in C^\infty(G)$, with respect to $\pi_0$ and $\pi$, what can we say about the lie bracket $[X_f,H_f]$ ?</p>
<p>All what I managed to do is to use the graded Jacobi identity, for the Schouten bracket, to show that
$$\mathscr{L}_{H_f}\pi_0=\mathscr{L}_{X_f}\pi$$</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>

I guess that any interesting information on your kind of question should follow from the relation between the single Poisson cohomologies and the total complex with differential the sum of the two differentials.</p>

$$[\pi_0,[\pi,P]]=-[\pi,[\pi_0,P]].$$
Thus, for the coboundary operators, we have
$$\delta_{\pi_0}\circ\delta_\pi=-\delta_\pi\circ\delta_{\pi_0}.$$
In particular,
$$\mathscr{L}_{H_f}\pi_0=-\mathscr{L}_{X_f}\pi.$$
If $X_f$, respectively $H_f$, denote the hamiltonian with respect to $\pi_0$, respectively $\pi$ then:
$$[H_f,X_g]=X_{H_f(g)}-[\mathscr{L}_{H_f}\pi_0,g]=H_{X_g(f)}+[\mathscr{L}_{X_g}\pi,f].$$
One can explore the above identities to try to find relations between the hamiltonians!</p>
