Description

Kontsevich designed a scheme to generate infinitesimal symmetries P˙=Q(P) of Poisson brackets P on all affine manifolds Mr; every such deformation is encoded by oriented graphs on n+2 vertices and 2n edges. In particular, these symmetries can be obtained by orienting sums of non-oriented graphs γ on n vertices and 2n2 edges. The bi-vector flow P˙=Or(γ)(P) preserves the space of Poisson structures if γ is a cocycle with respect to the vertex-expanding differential d in the graph complex. A class of such cocycles γ2+1 is known to exist: marked by N, each of them contains a (2+1) -gon wheel with a nonzero coefficient. At =1 the tetrahedron γ3 itself is a cocycle; at =2 the Kontsevich–Willwacher pentagon-wheel cocycle γ5 consists of two graphs. We reconstruct the symmetry Q5(P)=Or(γ5)(P) and verify that Q5 is a Poisson cocycle indeed: [[P,Q5(P)]]0 via [[P,P]]=0.
