Poisson derivations and cohomology of Poisson nilpotent algebras

Abstract

We compute the Poisson derivations and the first Poisson cohomology group of uniparameter Poisson Nilpotent Algebras (PNA for short) under the hypothesis that Poisson-normal elements are Poisson-central. This applies in particular to certain Poisson algebras associated to Bott--Samelson varieties.
