Abstract

 

In the talk I shall review the definition of Poisson cohomology and homology. Some simple computations of Poisson cohomology will be presented. I shall then move to a special class of Poisson manifold, namely Poisson-Lie groups and Poisson homogeneous spaces. I shall also discuss how the Poisson (co)homology of these spaces is related to more well known Lie algebra (co)homologies.
