1. Introduction
Quantization of dynamical system yields an algebraic problem for making a ring of Coo functions on a manifold into a Poisson algebra which has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure. The classical Poisson algebra was generalized by F. A. Berezin [1, 2]
and moreover by A. A. Kirillov [3, 4] in the study of local Lie algebra with a one-dimen- sional fibre. A Lie algebraic structure of generalized Poisson algebra (P. K. algebra) defined by A. A. Kirillov was studied by F. Mimura and A. Ikushima [5].
In this paper, an important sort of the P. K. algebra is defined by means of generalized derivatives on the ring of Cco functions and a further discussion is made for a structure of the P. K. algebra. There is given a procedure for making the ring of Cco functions into the algebra.
2. Generalization of classical Poisson algebra
Let 9n be an m-dimensional Cco manifold with local coordinates x=(xi,..., xm) and wt(EM) the ring with respect to the usual operations of addition and multiplication of Cco functions on SM. Then the classical Poisson bracket operation is generalized by
[f, g], == Cijf,g,j, (1)
where Cij--- -Cji are Cco functions on S)Jl (F. A. Berezin [2, p. 1110]). Here note the conventions of summation (summing up for repeated indices) and comma (f,i=Of/Oxi, g,j =Og/exj), which are used throughout. Under this bracket operation, the ring wt(EM) has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure if and only if
c(ilslc{,k) :O,
where the parenthesis of indices denotes the symmetrization of i, 1', k. This algebra is . called Poisson-Berezin algebra (P. B. algebra) and denoted by So(C). Moreover, the Poisson bracket operation (1) can be generalized by
[f, g] = Ciij,,g,j+A`(fg,i-- gf,i) ,
40 Fum'itake MiMuRA and Akira lKusHiMA
where Cij-= --Cji and Ai are Cco functions on EM (A. A. Kirillov [4,p. 58]). Under this bracket operation, the ring wt(EIJI) has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure if and only if Ai and CiJ' satisfy
A(icjk)+c(ilslCl,k) == O, (2) Afgcj]s + Asclg' -- o, (3)
where the bracket ofindices denotes the skew-symmetrization of i, J'. This algebra is called Pojsson-Kirillov algebra (P. K. algebra) and denoted by S(A, C). Of course So(C)=
S(O, C). For arbitrary elementf f, g and h in wt(swl); So(C) satisfieg.
[f, gh]o == [f, g]oh + [f, h]og,
but (S(A, C) does not satisfy the following if AilO for some i:
[f, gh] == [f, g]h+ [f, h]g,
(which should be Qmitted in [5, p. 3], while this was not used in the discussion). In fact,
the above equation shows [xi, 1]=-Ai=O by putting f==x` and g=h :1. So, the
generalization.carries only the infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure [f, g] + [g, f] -O,
[[f, g], h] + [[g, h], f] + [[h, f], g] - O.
3. Reformulation of P. K. algebra
Let ipi be given Coo function on S"l, and consider the generalized derivative offin
wt(sM) :
D,(f) ==f,, + ipif•
Then, for arbitrary functions f and g in wt(swl), we shall define the bracket operation
[f, g]D=CijDi(f)D,(g), (4)
where Cij --• -Cji are Cco functions on !M, and find an necessary and suMcient condition that wt(EM) has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure under the bracket.
REMARK, The condition Cij=-Cii can be derived from [f,g]D+[g,f]D=O.
In fact, this relation yields [1, 1]D=O by puttingf==g=1. So that, since Di(1)==gbi and Di(xk) == 65• + ipixk, from (4) it fo11ows respectively by putting
f=g == 1: [1, 1].= Cij q5iip,• --- O,
f=xk, g =1: [xk, 1].= C`j((5e• +ipixk)(Pj
, = C"j ipj + CijÅë,ipjxk = Ck J' ipj,
f= l, g =xs: [1, xs]D=Cij(Pi((5i+ipjxS) = Cisdii + Cij (P iÅëjxs = Cisipi,
f = xk , g = xs : [xk, xs]. = Cij(6ts•' + ip ixk) (6,S• + ipjxS)
,,,, cks + ckjdijxs + Cisipixk + Cijipidijxkxs = Cks.
Therefore [xk, xs]D+ [xs, xk]D=O implies Cks+ Csk =O.
Now, since Cij --- -Cji, the bracket operation (4) becomes [f, g]D = C`j(f,i +' ip if) (g ,j + ipjg)
-= Ci jf, ,g ,j + Ci J'(ipifg ,i + ipjgf, i) + Cij diiipjfg
=CiJ'f,ig,j+ipjCji(fg,,--gf,,).
So by putting
Ai ,. ipjCJ'i, (5)
the following theorem can be proved.
THEoREM 1. Under the bracket operation [,]D, the ring wt(EM) has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure if and only if
q!) ,Cs(i Cik)+C(ilsl C{,k) == O, (6) ip,,kCk[iCj]s+ipkC(ilslC{,k)=O, (7)
PRooF. By substituting (5) into (2), it follows
A(iCJ'k) + C(i1S1C{.k) = di,CS(iCJ'k) + C(iISiC!,k) == 0;
and into (3), it follows also
AlgCj]S + ASCIg -- ip ,,,Ck[i Cj ]S + ip ,(Ce,[iO]s + CksC,i,J') = ipk,,Ck[iCj]s+ ipkC(i1slcl'.k) = o,
here note the relation
Ce,[iCj ]S + CkSCIg = Ceg CjS - Clr.J' CiS + CkSCI I' =:C(ilslCl',k) (since Cij -- -- Cji).
We denote by SD(C), the infinite dimensional Lie algebra under the bracket operation
[ , ]D of wt(EIJI).

REMARK. SD(C) is a P. K. algebra such as S.(Cij)=:S(ip,jCji, Cii
Since the term C(ilslCf'.k) is contained in both (6) and (7), we shall first find an example of Cij satisfying C(ilslC{,k)=O.
LEMMA 1. Let Ck',...k. be a system ofconstants which is skew-symmetricfor i,j and symmetric in ki,..., k., and satisfying the relation
C#•1•f;.I CI'52's. == O' (8)
Then Cij '--" Ck{.,.k.xki•••xkn satistv C(ilSilCl',k,)= O.
