Some remarks on periodic gradings

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak q$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, $\vartheta\in Aut(\mathfrak q)$ a finite order automorphism, and $\mathfrak q_0$ the subalgebra of fixed points of $\vartheta$. Using $\vartheta$ one can construct a pencil $\mathcal P$ of compatible Poisson brackets on $S(\mathfrak q)$, and thereby a `large' Poisson-commutative subalgebra $Z(\mathfrak q,\vartheta)$ consisting of $\mathfrak q_0$-invariants in $S(\mathfrak q)$. We study one particular bracket $\{\,\,,\,\}_{\infty}\in\mathcal P$ and the related Poisson centre ${\mathcal Z}_\infty$. It is shown that ${\mathcal Z}_\infty$ is a polynomial ring, if $\mathfrak q$ is reductive.
