1. Introduction
The notion of warped products was introduced by Bishop and O’Neill to construct Riemannian manifolds of negative sectional curvature [1]. The warped product of two pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and is the product manifold equipped with the metric , where is a positive function of B called the warping function, is called the base manifold and is called the fiber manifold. Warped products have been widely used not only in differential geometry but also have many applications in physics, in particular in the theory of relativity [1,2,3,4].
It is worth noting that Poisson manifolds play a very important role in Hamiltonian dynamics, where they serve as phase spaces. The geometry of Poisson structures has grown rapidly into a very large theory, with interactions with many other areas of mathematics, including integrable systems, Hamiltonian dynamics, quantum groups, representation theory, theory of singularities and noncommutative geometry.
The doubly warped products are considered a generalization of warped products. The doubly warped product of two pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and is the product manifold equipped with the metric , where the functions and are called warping functions. In [5], the authors studied the geometry of warped product manifolds equipped with a warped Poisson tensor. In this paper, we construct a Poisson tensor on a doubly warped product manifold , which will be called the doubly warped Poisson tensor, and we generalize some geometric structures (such as the Levi-Civita connection, curvature and metacurvature) defined on a warped product manifold endowed with the warped Poisson structure to the geometry of a doubly warped product of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds equipped with a doubly warped Poisson structure. Moreover, we study compatibility conditions related to the Poisson tensor and the pseudo-Riemannian metric g on , so that the compatibility conditions on B and F remain fulfilled on the Poisson doubly warped product manifold . First, recall that the notion of compatibility on a smooth manifold M between a Poisson tensor and a pseudo-Riemannian metric g was first introduced by M. Boucetta in [6]. A triplet is compatible in the sense of M. Boucetta [6,7] if for any 1-forms we have
where is the Levi-Civita contravariant connection associated with . The triple verifies this condition which is called the pseudo-Riemannian Poisson manifold.
In [8,9], Hawkins observed that if a deformation of the graded algebra of differential forms on comes from a spectral triple describing the pseudo-Riemannian structure, then the Poisson tensor on M which characterizes the deformation and the pseudo-Riemannian metric g become compatible in the following sense:
- The Levi-Civita contravariant connection associated with is flat.
- Vanishing of the metacurvature tensor of .
We say the triple satisfying conditions and are compatible in the sense of Hawkins. In [10,11], the second author and N. Zaalani studied these compatibility conditions on the one hand on the tangent bundle of a Poisson Lie group and on the other hand on reduced Poisson manifolds.
Note that, in [9], Hawkins showed that if the triplet satisfies conditions and , then there exists a generalized Poisson bracket making the differential graded algebra of differential forms a differential graded Poisson algebra. The lifting of Hawkins compatibility conditions to defines a generalized Poisson bracket on and the graded algebra of differential forms on
In Section 2, we give basic definitions and relations between the contravariant connection, the curvature tensor, the generalized Poisson bracket and the metacurvature on a Poisson manifold M and we briefly recall the notion of horizontal and vertical lifts on a product manifold. In Section 3, using warping functions, we construct a bivector field on a product manifold and we give necessary and sufficient conditions so that this bivector field can be a Poisson tensor. We introduce the notion of Poisson doubly warped product manifold , (where are called warping functions) and we calculate the Levi-Civita contravariant connection of in terms of Levi-Civita connections of components and . In Section 4, we express the curvature tensor of and we study the compatibility conditions on Poisson doubly warped product manifolds. Finally, we give examples of doubly warped Riemannian metrics and doubly warped Poisson tensor compatibles.
2. Preliminaries
2.1. Poisson Manifolds
The following shows a pair of a smooth manifold M and a Lie bracket map on called a Poisson manifold, where the Poisson structure satisfies the Leibniz identity:
It follows by the Leibniz identity that there exists a unique vector field on M depending on function called the Hamiltonian vector of such that
A smooth function is called a Casimir function if
The Leibniz identity allows the existence of a bivector field such that
The Schouten Nijenhuis bracket on a Poisson manifold is given for any by
So, the Jacobi identity for is equivalent to the vanishing of the Schouten Nijenhuis bracket. Conversely, if is a bivector field on a smooth manifold M such that , then the Jacobi identity is verified and the bracket is a Poisson structure on M. The bivector field is called a Poisson tensor.
2.2. Contravariant Connections
Contravariant connections associated with a Poisson tensor were introduced by Vaismann [12] and studied in detail by Fernandes [13]. This notion appears extensively in the context of noncommutative deformations of the differential graded algebra of differential forms (see [8,9]).
Let be a Poisson manifold and let be the anchor map associated with the Poisson tensor , defined for any by
The Koszul bracket on differential 1-forms is given by:
A contravariant connection on the Poisson manifold with respect to is an -bilinear map
such that for all
The torsion T and the curvature tensor of a contravariant connection are the contravariant analogues of the torsion and the curvature in the covariant case:
If (resp. ), we say that is torsion-free (resp. flat).
Let be a Poisson manifold equipped with a covariant pseudo-Riemannian metric and let g be the contravariant metric associated with . There exists a unique torsion-free contravariant connection associated with , called the Levi-Civita contravariant connection, such that the metric g is parallel with respect to , i.e.,
The connection is the contravariant analogue of the Levi-Civita connection in the covariant case and can be defined by the following Koszul formula:
Let be the Levi-Civita contravariant connection associated with , if ; then, and for any we have
Let be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and let be a bivector field on The field endomorphism is defined for any by
Moreover, if is a pseudo-Riemannian Poisson manifold then i.e.,
2.3. The Metacurvature
The notion of metacurvature is due to Hawkins [9] and was introduced to measure the non-commutative deformation which is the obstruction to the vanishing of the graded Jacobi identity on the space of differential forms . In [9], Hawkins observed that if is a torsion-free and flat contravariant connection on M, then there exists an -bilinear bracket on which verifies the following properties:
- 1.
- is the antisymmetric of degree 0, i.e.,
- 2.
- The differential d is a derivation with respect to , i.e.,
- 3.
- , satisfies the product rule,
- 4.
- For any smooth functions , the bracket coincides with the initial Poisson bracket on M and for any :
For any , this bracket is given by (see [14]):
This bracket is called a generalized Poisson bracket in the space of differential forms . Hawkins showed that there exists a (2, 3) tensor symmetric in the contravariant indices and antisymmetric in the covariant indices, such that the generalized Poisson bracket satisfies the graded Jacobi identity,
if, and only if, is identically zero.
The tensor is called the metacurvature of the contravariant connection .
For all smooth functions and for any 1-forms , the metacurvature is given by:
If is identically zero, the connection is said to be metaflat.
2.4. Horizontal and Vertical Lifts

Let and . The horizontal lifts of are defined as follows: for any , the horizontal lift of to is the unique tangent vector field in , such that:
Similarly, we can define the vertical lift of a function and the vertical lift of a vector field to by using the second projection
Next, we define the horizontal and vertical lifts of a covariant tensor to .
Let be a covariant tensor on B; then, its pullback by the first projection is a covariant tensor on the product manifold , called the horizontal lift of to . In particular, if and then we have,
Explicitly, if then,
In the same way, we can define the vertical lift of the covariant tensor on F to .
Let (resp. ) be an n-contravariant tensor on B (resp. on F). We define the horizontal lift of (resp. the vertical lift of ) to by
resp.
where i is the inner product.
