Nonlinear Poisson brackets associated with nilpotent (matrix) Lie algebras?

With every finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ one can associate a linear Poisson bracket on $\mathfrak{g}^\ast$. With some more restrictions on $\mathfrak{g}$ and some extra ingredients, th …

Associativity of Kontsevich's star product up to second order

In Deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds, Kontsevich gives the quantization formula $$f \star g = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \hbar^n \sum_{\Gamma \in G_n} w_\Gamma B_{\Gamma,\alpha}(f,g).$$ He gives …

Associativity of Kontsevich's star product up to second order

The answer is that the black underlined terms do not cancel. Instead, they contribute an extra term which gives precisely the Jacobi identity (times $2/3$). (The reason I missed this is that I prev …
