A singular Poincare lemma

Abstract

We prove a Poincare lemma for a set of r smooth functions on a 2n-dimensional smooth manifold satisfying a commutation relation determined by r singular vector fields associated to a Cartan subalgebra of $\mathfrak{sp}(2r,\mathbb{R})$. This result has a natural interpretation in terms of the cohomology associated to the infinitesimal deformation of a completely integrable system.
