The symplectic derivation Lie algebra.

Fix a \(g \geq 4\) and let \(R\) be a commutative ring. Let \(H = R^{2g}\) be equipped with a symplectic form \(\mu\) with the basis \(a_1, \ldots, a_g, b_1, \ldots, b_g\) such that

\[\mu(a_i, a_j) = \mu(b_i, b_j) = 0, \qquad\qquad \mu(a_i, b_j) = -\mu(b_j, a_i) = \delta_{ij},\]

for all \(i, j\). The symplectic derivation Lie algebra is the Lie algebra

\[\mathfrak{c}_g := \bigoplus_{w \geq 0} S^{w+2} H\]

with the Lie bracket on basis elements

\[[x_1 \cdots x_{m+2}, y_1 \cdots y_{n+2}] = \sum_{i,j} \mu(x_i, y_j) x_1 \cdots \widehat{x}_i \cdots x_{m+2} \cdot y_1 \cdots \widehat{y}_j \cdots y_{n+2},\]

where \(\widehat{z}\) denotes that factor is missing. When \(R = \QQ\), this corresponds to the classical Poisson bracket on \(C^{\infty}(\RR^{2g})\) restricted to polynomials with coefficients in \(\QQ\).
