Poisson geometry is the study of varieties endowed with a Poisson structure, which is a certain kind of 2-tensor. This is closely related to symplectic geometry.

Kontsevich's flow on the space of Poisson structures
In §5.3 of Kontsevich's Formality Conjecture he writes:
This (...) gives a remarkable vector field on the space of bi-vector fields on $\mathbf{R}^d$. The evolution with respect to the time $t$ is …

Bracket systems (generalization of Poisson brackets)
I'm no expert on operads but it seems that
a "bracket system" can be formalized as an operad; see e.g. the Poisson operad here,
the "product-complete" condition could be related to having a Hopf ope …

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 …

Nontrivial Poisson relations for affine Poisson algebras
Lie ideals in Lie algebras also define Poisson ideals of the associated Lie-Poisson structure.
Consider the Lie-Poisson structure associated to the Lie algebra of upper-triangular $3\times 3$ matrice …

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 …
