Free Poisson fields and their automorphisms
Abstract
Let kk be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0. We prove that the group of automorphisms of a free Poisson field P(x,y) in two variables x,y over k is isomorphic to the Cremona group Cr2(k). We also prove that the universal enveloping algebra P(x1,…,xn)e of a free Poisson field P(x1,…,xn) is a free ideal ring and give a characterization of the Poisson dependence of two elements of P(x1,…,xn) via universal derivatives.
