The Product of Poisson Manifolds
Given two Poisson manifolds (M,{⋅,⋅}M) and (N,{⋅,⋅}N), a Poisson bracket may be defined on the product manifold M × N. Letting f1 and f2 be two smooth functions defined on M × N, one can define a new Poisson bracket {⋅,⋅}M × N in terms of {⋅,⋅}M and {⋅,⋅}N as follows:
- ,
where x ∈ M and y ∈ N are to be held constant. In other words, if
- ,
then both
and
are implied.

Famous quotes containing the word product:
“In fast-moving, progress-conscious America, the consumer expects to be dizzied by progress. If he could completely understand advertising jargon he would be badly disappointed. The half-intelligibility which we expect, or even hope, to find in the latest product language personally reassures each of us that progress is being made: that the pace exceeds our ability to follow.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
