Abstract: A Poisson manifold is a generalization of the notion of phase space from Hamiltonian mechanics. It is a manifold endowed with a skew-symmetric bivector field such that the Schouten bracket of the bivector field with itself vanishes. We discuss what happens, when you consider a symmetric bivector field instead of a skew-symmetric one.
