1. Introduction
On a m-dimensional differentiable manifold with a second rank skew-symmetric differentiable tensor field co, F. A. Berezin [1, 2] introduced the Poisson Lie algebras (Poisson-Berezin algebras, briefly PB-algebras) provided with the infinite dimen- sional Lie algebra structure; and illustrated an interesting example of PB-algebras associated with the structure constants of arbitray m-dimensional Lie algebras g.
Moreover, A. A. Kiri11ov [3] investigated the local Lie algebra with one-dimensional fibre, which gave birth to the generalized PB-algebras (Poisson--Kirillov algebras, briefly PK-algebras) defined by the pair of the structure constants of g and a set of differentiable functions F`(i --- 1, •••, m) on the manifold.
In this paper, the centers of PB-algebras are completely determined by setting g as the three-dimensional Lie algebras. By using of the elements of the center, it is effectively determined the set of functions Fi which, together with the structure con- stants of g, give rise to the bracket of PK-algebras (cf. [5] for the case that Fi are the constants). Moreover, there is given a procedure of constructing the bracket of PK-algebras from an arbitrary set of functions Fi. And the procedure is illustrated by some examples.
, For the convenience, differentiability is assumed to be of sufficiently high order and the summation convention is employed throughout.
' 2. PB- and PK-algebras
Let EM be a m-dimensional differentiable manifold with local coordinates x=
(ti,•••, rM) and ER(EIJI) the ring (with respect to the operations of addition and multiplication) of differentiable functions on EIn. Then, in terrns of the components toi"(x) of the tensor field tu on E!n, the generalized Poisson bracket on M(E"l) is defined by [2]
(1) [f, g] = tu 'if,ig,j for f, gE M(EM).

Here note the convention of the commas:f,i--- Of/0x', g,j= 0g/Oxj. Under this bracket operation, M(EM) makes a Poisson Lie algebra, i.e., (1) defines an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure (PB-algebra structure) if and only if (here the parenthesis of indices denotes the summation over all cyclic permutations of the indices)
(2) co (ilsl cotk,) = coisco;k+ cojsco ,k,i+coksco gJg = o.
Let C2 be the structure constants of a m-dimensional Lie algebra g and put
(3) coi'-=C2xk.
Then (2) is satisfied identically, since it is equivalent to the Jacobi identity for the structure constants
(4) cliisicgk) =o;
and the bracket (1) has the form
(5) [f, g] = Ck"x kf,ig,j for f, gE Sn (EIJI).
With a set of differentiable functions Fi on E!n, the Poisson bracket (1) can be generalized as [3]
(6) [f, g] =co`"f,ig,j+Fi(fg,,-gf,i) for f,gE SJI(E!n),
which defines an infinite dimensional Lie algebra structure (PK-algebra structure) if and only if
(7) F(ico]'k)+to(iis[to;,'k)=o, (8) F3, ofk-F;, to ik +Fkto ,v,=O.
Similarly as before, let to"- be given by (3). Then, in viewing that (2) is equiva- lent to the Jacobi identity (4), the equations (7) and (8) are reduced respectively to
(9) F(t C," k'xS=O,
(10) (F ;-,C,]'k-Fk Cgk) xs+.F kCLj =o;
and the bracket (6) has the form
(11) [f, g] = CE'tkf,ig,j+F'(fg,i-gf,i) for f, gE [R(EM).
3. Centers of the PB-algebras
Let (S(E!n) be the PB-algebra with the bracket (5) on ER(EM) and tb(EIn) the
center of (S5(EM). An element fE ij(EM) is a differentiable function on EM such that
CLjjvkf,ig,j = O for all g E YI(SM), i.e., it is a solution of the first-order system of
partial differential equations
(12) Ct"x"f,i=O (1'=1, •••, m),
which may be not always effectively solved to determine the center fo (EI)?).
However our discussion is continued by setting g as the three-dimensional Lie algebras. We set also EM= R3 for the covenience. The structure constants Ckij of g : C,23 C,3i C,i2
(13) P= C,23 C,3i C,i2
C,23 C,3i C,i2
take the following forms under a suitable isomorphism of g (Levy--Nahas [4]):

where R # -1 in PR8. Let (SScr(R3) be the PB-algebra associated with the structure constants Pa and foa(R3) the center of ecr(R3), respectively for cr=1, •••,8; and denote the coordinates of R3 by (x', x2-, x3) = (x, y, z) as well as (f,i, f,2, f,3) =
(fX, fU, f2) •
THEoREM 1. Elements f of the centers S)cr(R3) of the PB-algebras (S5a(R3) associated with Pa (cr = 1, •••, 8) are of the follozving forms, respectively (O is an arbitraiy dzfferentiable function of the indicated variables) :
, fo'(R3):f=Åë(x, y, z);
fo2(R3) : f= Åqb (x);
fo3(R3) : f = o(x -'y) (x t O) or f== O (xy-') (y iE O);

ij5(R3) : f= ÅqP (x2+y2);

PRooF. Corresponding to the structure constants of Pa, the differential system (13) is written respectively as
pi: Ci'jxkf,i -= O (1' = 1, 2, 3);
P2: CE'xkf,i-= O, C"2xkf,i"--' -xf,=O, C"'3xkf,i=xfu=:O;
P3: Ct-ix kf,i= xf, = O, C"'2x kf,i -- yfz = O, Cti3x kf,i=-xfx-yfg=O;
P`: CE'xkf,i=-yf,=O, Ct'2xkf,i= ntxfz = O, C"3xkf,i-- xfy+yfx=O;
P5: Cg' 'x kf,i = yf, =: O, C"2x kf,i = -xfz = O, Ct' 3x kf,i ---' xfy -yfx =O;
P6 : C"' 'x kf, i = -yf, -zf, = O, Ct2x kf, , = zfx -xfz = O, C"' 3x kf, : =: xfu +yfx == O;
P' : C"' 'x kf,i = yf, -2f, = O, C"2x kf, i --' zfx -xf2 = O, C2'3x kf,i = xfu-yfx = O;
PR8 : Ck' ix kf, i = (x+Zy) f, == O, Cti 2x "f, i -- ' (x- y) f, = O,
Ct'3jckf,i -- - (x+Ry)f.+ (ar'y)fu = O.
Now, the solution can be obtained resectively in each case (cr) for the structure con- stants of Pa as follows.
(i) For the no conditions,fis obviously an arbitrary function on R3.
(ii) The solution f=Åë(x) follows immediately from fx=fy=O if x;O, while xt O can be delated in the consequence by the continuity of f.
(iii) According to x #O or y;O, the subsidiary equation (briefly s-equation) of the last one: x-idx=y-idy have the solution x-iy= const. or xy-i = const, and thereforef==Åë(x-'y) orf==Åë(xym') by the first or the second one, respectively.
(iv) The first (also the second) equation implies thatfis a function of x and y (note the continuity offas used in (ii)). Thereforef=O(x2-y2) follows from the solution x2-y2 = const. of the s-equation of the last one : xdu-ydy =O.
(v) Similarly to (iv), the solutionf =O(x2+y2) is obtained through the s-equa- tion : xdu+ydy =O.
(vi) By the transformation of variables
u=x2-y2+z2, v =y, w=z,
with the Jacobian (functional determinant) D (u, v, w) /D (x, y, 2) == 2x tO, the equa-
tions are rewritten respectively as
