Fields of Poisson fields

Abstract

We will illustrate the richness of the realm of Poisson fields, i.e., fields with Poisson structures.  Even the smallest fields that can support nonzero Poisson structures, namely rational function fields in two variables, carry enormously many non-isomorphic such structures.  We will display a gamut of existence theorems, isomorphism criteria, automorphism groups, and embedding results.  [This is joint work with James Zhang.]
