Some questions on Kontsevich's moduli space
Why do you say the moduli space of stable maps to a smooth projective Calabi-Yau is an orbifold? In general it's not even equidimensional and it's highly singular.

Sum over integer compositions of $m$ with $n$ parts of a fixed monomial in the parts
actually the same argument, together with the property that $\mathrm{Li}_{-a}(x)=(-1)^{a+1}\mathrm{Li}_{-a}(\frac{1}{x})$ shows that $f_m(a_1,\ldots,a_n)$ is a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-homogeneous polynomial!

Let me elaborate a little. I meant $i^s \mathrm{Li}_{-s}(e^{ix}) = \sum_{k>0} (ik)^s e^{ikx} = \left(\frac{1}{1-e^{ix}} \right)^{(s)} = \delta_+^{(s)}(x)$.

Thank you very much for your answer. Actually that is what I started with. To provide some motivation, I was trying to compute, in a completely formal way, the product $\delta_+^{(a_1)}(x)\ldots\delta_+^{(a_n)}(x)$ as a linear combination of $\delta_+(x)$ and its derivatives, where $\delta_+=\sum_{k\geq 0}e^{ikx}$, or more precisely, the positive-Fourier-modes part of the Dirac delta distribution. Such distribution can of course be expressed as polylogarithms, as you suggest, and my question becomes: how to express your product of poylogs as a linear combination of other polylogs?

twisted Poisson structures, degenerate metrics and integrability properties of (2,0)-tensors
Yes i meant precisely that. I'll think about it a little more, but this is already more than satisfactory. Thanks again.

let me elaborate: one cool thing about the equation [\Pi,\Pi]=\Pi^\sharp(\phi) for the integrability of antisymmetric case is that one can put $\Pi=\Pi_0+\epsilon \Pi_1$ and get a compatibility condition between $\Pi_0$ and $\Pi_1$ in order for $\Pi$ to generate an integrable distribution (this is the idea of bihamiltonian systems). In the fully Poisson case it reduces to $[\Pi_0,\Pi_1]=0$ of course, but if we start with a Poisson tensor $\Pi_0$ but perturb it to anything integrable (but still antisymmetric) we get a nice and explicit system of equations involving $\Pi_0$, $\Pi_1, \phi$.

great, thank you Robert! one question though: what about the linearity properties of you differential operator? I see that it is homogeneous of dregree r+2 with respect to multiplication of $\phi$ by a constant (even a function). what about linear combinations of tensors $a\phi+b\varphi$?

I was also wandering why you needed symmetry. I'll wait for your upgrde then! Thank you!

Thank you also for this reply. This is an extremely direct test indeed.

Thank you Robert, thank you Peter. I also started with Peter's idea precisely from that paper and got stuck with the fact that in the symmetric case one always gets zero from the bracket. However the second proposal with the two curvatures for the two distributions seems really conclusive. In the general case I was interested in perturbing a genuine Poisson structure with a symmetric tensor such that the integrability of the annihilator of the kernel is preserved. That would be a antisymmetric-symmetric version of bihamiltonian systems with hamiltonians given by the perturbed casimirs.
