New generalized Poisson structures are introduced by using suitable skew-symmetric contravariant tensors of even order. The corresponding `Jacobi identities' are provided by conditions on these tensors, which may be understood as cocycle conditions. As an example, we provide the linear generalized Poisson structures which can be constructed on the dual spaces of simple Lie algebras.
The deformations of the Galilei algebra and their associated noncommutative Newtonian spacetimes are investigated. This is done by analyzing the possible nonrelativistic limits of an eleven generator (pseudo)extended \kap-Poincaré algebra $\tilde{\cal P}_κ$ and their implications for the existence of a first order differential calculus. The additional one-form needed to achieve a consistent calculus on \kap-Minkowski space is shown to be related to the additional central generator entering in the $\tilde{\cal P}_κ$ Hopf algebra. In the process, deformations of the extended Galilei and Galilei algebras are introduced which have, respectively, a cocycle and a bicrossproduct structure.
