A SUPERSYMMETRY APPROACH TO POISSON STRUCTURES OVER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS I. S.

Abstract: An exposition of Poisson structures theory over nonlinear partial differential equations is given. The approach is based on consideration of $d_h$-invariant Hamiltonian formalism in the superalgebra $\La^*(\Ei)$, $d_h$ being the horizontal differential. Relations between supersymmetries and Poisson structures are established. A local description of Poisson structures for the two cases is given: $\Ei=\Ji(\pi)$ and $\CE$ being a system of evolution equations.
