Abstract

Starting from an arbitrary algebra in place of the algebra of smooth functions on a differentiable manifold M, we construct an algebra which generalizes the algebra of polynomial functions on T*M. We define a Poisson bracket on this algebra and show that it can be obtained from a natural one-form which generalizes the fundamental one-form on T*M.
